Conclusion Most corrosive: Fuji Apple Best Toothpaste: Colgate
Applications of our findings • Schools should limit the sale of Fuji Apple drinks. • There are many children who have teeth corrosion. Therefore, by consulting our findings, children who wish to avoid the most corrosion of their teeth can choose to drink Mug Root Beer.
Expansion • Would other non-carbonated drinks corrode our teeth? • Would chilled soft drinks make a difference? • Would using mouthwash and brushing our teeth affect the rate of corrosion of our teeth?
