The hypothesis for this experiment would be, if the type of whitening product is altered, will the whiteness of teeth increase? The idea of this experiment was to see what types or products or methods help to whiten teeth better and faster than others.This science fair project is interesting to me because my teeth are never white. I was curious as to which methods of cleaning would succeed in brightening teeth faster because I may consider the options if I were to use a different whitening product or method. What I hope to achieve through this project is to put the information out there about how teeth can be whitened so somebody in need can stumble upon it. The definition of whiten is to make or become white. If teeth are not whitening, teeth …show more content…
In conclusion, their hypothesis was not supported. A higher education experiment similar to this one had a hypothesis stating that whitening toothpaste is more effective than toothpaste with cavity protection. The hypothesis in that experiment was not supported.
First, each of the three same sized bowls all need to have three of the same type of teeth inside of them. Next, all of the teeth need to be photographed for the color. After the pictures, the products need to be poured onto the appropriate teeth until the teeth are completely covered in the product. Without physically or mechanically altering the teeth, bowls, or product in any way, wait approximately twenty minutes. The teeth then need to be cleaned of the product used, by means of rinsing off with water until no product remains. As a follow-up to the cleaning, new photographs need to be taken in addition to the previous ones taken. Lastly, the photographs need to be matched up and uploaded to a Photoshop website for the purpose of comparing the before and after shades of the teeth. The data collected was very similar. In the first trial, the peroxide, homemade product, and the Crest whitening product all increased by about two shades. The second trial

The hypothesis was supported because the whiteness of the teeth did change. The three teeth soaked in peroxide increased in whiteness by two shades, three shades and two shades again, while the average was around two point three repeating. The three teeth submerged in the homemade product which consisted of lemon juice and baking soda, all increased by two shades of brightness every time. The three teeth in the Crest whitening product increased by two shades, three shades, and three shades again. The science behind the results of the experiment was mainly about the chemical reactions we allow to take place on our teeth and in our bodies to make them appear more appealing to ourselves and other people. Drinks or liquids with acid or sugars quickly break down our teeth’s enamel every single time we drink or consume them. Those acids and sugars sit on the teeth all day and break down your teeth’s precious enamel. Products such as the ones used in the experiment help to determine what type of chemical reactions people should and should not choose to help break down stains and spots from teeth to make the teeth appear brighter and more appealing to
This morning I woke up and looked in the mirror and noticed that my teeth were not as white as I like them to be. I think to myself, I need to call and make an appointment to get my teeth whitened with my dentist. Teeth whitening is an example of Cosmetic Dentistry. Cosmetic Dentistry is different than regular dentistry in the sense that regular dentistry deals with oral hygiene and the prevention, diagnosing and treating of any oral diseases. Cosmetic dentistry however focuses on improving a person’s teeth, smile, and mouth. General dentistry deals with what needs to be done whereas Cosmetic dentistry is
Throughout everyone’s lives either children and adults, brushing teeth is nessecary to maintain fine-white looking teeth. Yet many people who constantly brush when needed still fall short in achieving white, shiny, teeth even though they brush after every meal. This is due to stains from wines, acidic foods, or the coming of old age. Either one of these reasons could be responsible for why your white-shinny teeth become yellow. Imagine having a fine dinner with your special someone, only to smile and have them see your ugly, disgusting, yellow colored teeth. With 3D White Strips made by Crest, say goodbye to those ugly teeth and say hello to shiny, sparkly, white teeth. When people ask other people “How did you get your teeth so white?” Most
Results: The results indicated that all three agents provided significant shade lightening about baseline tone. The results showed no difference in tooth whitening efficacy between the three whitening products. Using Whitestrips is probably the most convenient way to whiten teeth at home.
What effect does Gatorade have on your teeth? If the Gatorade is red, it will have a Gatorade effect then the yellow Gatorade would have. First, set five plastic cups out in a set area that will not change. Next, fill each cup up with 118.294 Ml of a color of Gatorade or water. There will be one color of each Gatorade and one cup of water during each trial. Set one egg in each cup. Then leave the eggs in the Gatorade or water over night (about 12 hours). The next morning remove each other the eggs and place them one a plate. Measure the color of each of the eggs using the flawless teeth whitening scale, or the color scale correlated with the color of Gatorade. The red Gatorade stain the most, then blue, then orange, then yellow, the water
Our questions were, Which out of the three liquid would stain the teeth the most and what causes our teeth to change colors? The purpose of our experiment was that we wondered what these drinks would do if we drank it for a certain period of time. We chose gatorade, red wine, and cranberry juice because these drinks are mostly drank by kids, teens,and adults. We wanted to see how these drinks might affect our teeth so we know what not to drink if we
Teeth whitening is a chemical process in which whitening agents are used as of means to improve the appearance of the teeth. Bleaching usually uses an oxidizing agent to remove any discoloration or stains from the teeth.
We were very discrete in choosing the substances to test for this lab. Chheng decided to test toothpaste, a paste used on teeth for cleaning the teeth. Toothpastes are said to scrub away the plaque and food debris, mixtures of

The current market for retainer cleaning solutions primarily revolves around denture cleaners and select mouthwash solutions. These options are used for cleaning purposes and do not capitalize on the idea of flavoring the retainers, with the exception of Fresh Guard. Fresh Guard’s current offering provides a mint flavor for retainers. That would most likely appeal to an adult audience as research on kids’ palate preferences indicates that milder flavors are more popular with kids (5 Popular Kid’s Toothpastes, 2014). By adding flavors that kids prefer to retainers, Teeth Treat hopes to incentivize younger retainer users to actively maintain their oral health. The flavor would be added to the retainer in the daily cleaning process. Instead of soaking the retainer in denture cleaner, the retainer would be soaked in Teeth Treat. In addition to cleaning and flavoring, this process would help extend the life of the retainer by keeping it moisturized (Downshen, 2013). It would also simplify the cleaning process by removing the need to brush the retainer after soaking. A quick rinse after soaking would be all that is needed for
This project examines whether the amount of yeast would correspond to an increase in the height of the foam. The hypothesis states: If we increase the amount of yeast, then the height of the foam would also increase because yeast acts as a catalyst which makes the hydrogen peroxide molecules release the oxygen atoms faster.
One of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures is teeth whitening. Stains from smoking, medications, or consuming dark beverages often require professional whitening. Discoloration can also occur naturally
Discolored teeth may affect self-esteem of individuals depending on the society they live in.(1) The demand of individuals for tooth whitening existed for centuries, since ancient Asians, some first century Romans and during the 1300s by barber surgeons as well. (2-18) A lot of significant efforts have been directed toward understanding the nature of tooth discoloration and devising methods to eliminate them. (1) Of these methods, veneers and full coverage crowns are considered most invasive, because sound tooth structure is removed to create room for the restoration. (1) Tooth bleaching is the most conservative and cost-effective treatments that could improve a person’s smile, by dissolving discolorations in patients dentition using oxygenating
Colgate versus Crest is one of the marketing industries most famous battles. While Colgate has enjoyed the lead around the world with sales in over 170 countries and over 2 billion dollars, the United States has been their fiercest battle ground and one that Procter and Gamble’s Crest dominated for thirty years as America’s favorite toothpaste. That came to an end when Colgate Total was launched in 1998, Colgate took the lead in the United States. Procter and Gamble to compete began expanding their family brand into other oral health products, which included whitening, toothbrushes, mouthwashes and floss. Finally in 2007 Crest once again regained its top ranked position. (adbrands.net, 2013) We will begin to delve deeper into
I would test more brands of mouthwash. I would also recommend timing and checking the plates after so much time and she if any changes occur. I also would test this experiment in my mouth when bacteria is present from not brushes the teeth. Then applying mouthwash for so long and then swabbing and testing the cleanliness of my mouth afterwards. I would also do this will my mouth after eating some sticky candy and testing my mouth after adding mouthwash . I would swab and test my mouth after mouthwash was applied for a period of time. Then check my results. This experiment could be expended in a few ways to test the effectiveness so I was going to do this again I would possible try that example and see what my results also could
Many times the assumptions made by the companies need to be either verified or revisited. The Harvard professor Robert Kaplan states that ‘most decisions are based on an underlying assumption. Positions articulated in a debate are based on an assumption. The problem is that, too often, in business, the assumption is never made explicit, or if it is, its accuracy is never questioned’ (qtd. in “Never Make Decisions Based On Assumptions”). Well, the most important estimation that Goodbite did was their claim that white strips are most needed by people from 20 to 29 years old. This perception, though, on the one hand may be true but from the other, I believe that it is not too accurate. The fact that people aged from 20 to 29 want to whiten their teeth is displayed by some routines from their personal activities that probably are yellowing their teeth. Those are likely to be the excessive use of tobacco (smoking cigarettes) and the fact that they often drink coffee or tea. Through this opportunity, they may find an extra way becoming more attractive, beautiful and handsome. One of the things that a man first see to another are the teeth, quite reasonable if anyone thinks that it is the most visible part of our body. So, making a positive first impression to a person seems an important factor for someone to use white strips. Thus, I am convinced that youngsters whiten their teeth not only
