This month on HealthySmileLearning.org:
Stained Enamel Egg-Speriment
When you eat or drink certain foods or beverages, they might have the ability to stain your teeth. Drinks with high amounts of artificial dyes and food coloring can tint your teeth that color, and coffee can make your teeth turn a shade of brown. This can be demonstrated with the shells of eggs. Check out the experiment here, where eggs are dyed with sports drinks and coffee and see what happens when you brush them with toothpaste! Watch the video and read the handout so that you can be prepared and perform the experiment at home with a parent or guardian.
