Coke & Braces
Anyone notice their braces get super shiny after a drink of coke?
Suspose this applies like the 'if you put a coin in a dish of coke it will shine up'.
Just a discovery I made the other day, thought I'd share.

I think the reason it shines things up is because of the acid in coke (citric and phosphoric) so it is basically eating away at the stains on the brackets etc. Unfortunately, the acids in coke also dissolve teeth enamel which is why its not a good idea to drink lots of coke.
Have you ever seen that experiment where you put a tooth in a glass of cola and come back a day or so later and there's not much left. Try it with one of your children's teteh - obviously, ones that have fallen out and been taken away and paid for by the tooth fairy............

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to perform experiments on their children's teeth. I was going to use the 1st one that fell out of my son's mouth and put it in the Listerine Whitening Rinse but I lost the tooth. Now I don't have the Listerine Whitening stuff any more. I have another tooth saved but I'm not sure what I will do with that one, lol.Have you ever seen that experiment where you put a tooth in a glass of cola and come back a day or so later and there's not much left.

Can u guys have soda and cokes with braces? I was told I couldn’t have any of those. Maybe I have a different type of brace (ours here may have something a little bit different than yours in the States). But then I was told I couldn’t have any coke the first time I got braces (aged 12) and I did and nothing happened.
Confused!
Anyways, take care
