What Does Coke REALLY Do to Your Teeth?

that's okay right actually not right now no today's video is sponsored by the game war thunder click the link down in the description to start playing today in today's video we're gonna test out what happens if you leave human teeth in a few drinks for over a week guys today we are here with dr. Joe from Flat Rate doctors and we've got an experiment that involves teeth here's the basic idea we have five different beverages and liquids and we're going to see what happens if we leave a human tooth in them for a week I think a lot of us have heard ideas about Coke and some other drinks being really bad for your teeth it's true there's a few reasons why there's the sugar and then there's also the carbon dioxide which affects the teeth as well as I think there's a healthy dose of different kinds of acid yes I'm gonna say although it's very acidic here's what we're gonna do we've got a bunch of jars we've got five different liquids and you have teeth not just the ones in your in your mouth we're not just gonna hold Soudan extracted teeth and we want to try putting the teeth in each of those five different liquids and letting them sit for a week what do you think I think we're gonna get some dissolve teeth depends on the look at all right well we'll get some jars with liquids set up and if you want to grab some teeth we can take a look at those and then soaking well dr. Joe runs and grabs those teeth you should take a moment to check out our sponsor for today war thunder war thunder is an online military vehicle combat game and it is playable for free on the PC ps4 and Xbox one if you and your friends don't play on the same platform it's alright it's playable cross-platform one really cool thing about war thunder is that it has over 1200 playable tanks aircraft and ships from the 1930s to the 1990s one of my personal favorites is the m1a1 tank one of my favorite parts about this game is the realistic damage system your vehicles don't just take general damage but damage to each one of the components that are hit by registering now you'll get a free bonus of a premium tank aircraft or ship as well as a three day count boost so click the link in the description to start playing for free today this is not a healthy tooth but this is quite the deform to that looks like yeah that's the wisdom tooth okay a lot of times they have crazy curb roots and just it often will take a while to get them out but yeah and you said that this had been locked on like locked onto the bones you have to like wiggle them out yeah okay oh you gently elevate them and yeah it's it's not too hard as like you know what you did okay so these teeth were all extracted because there was some problem with them they had to be removed but they're still the same composition as a regular tooth if you were to drink soda we're gonna have the same effect on it correct okay so that's gonna be really interesting so these are the teeth and we're actually going to be putting in all the different liquids that we've brought today we brought the coca-cola what you saw I brought straight lemon juice which of course is gonna be very high in citric acid content I have carbonated water just nothing else water carbonation milk and ice coffee I think the one with the milk will probably stay intact okay but I think the ones with the more acid to them I think it will actually turn the teeth almost into a kind of a jelly and one thing about chief composition yeah because you basically have proteins in your teeth okay and the outside which the enamel doesn't have much proteins that has a high percent if that and the dentin actually has about 50% so I think you'll still have plenty of proteins on the dentin but I think mostly enamel will be gone you might have something very soft and squishy on the outside but for the most part the enamel we gone and that what will be left is the proteins of dentin so yeah you're saying okay so I'm thinking maybe that the coffee one's gonna stain it really bad that's what people always say you drink too much coffee it's gonna stain your teeth is that gonna be possible are they just gonna dissolve I think they might somewhat dissolve because of the acidity of it but yeah I think it will also stain it okay so we'll just see what's left by the end of this we've got some jars here I think we can just pour some of each of our they're not all drinks but our liquids into the jars and then pick a good tooth for each one and then we'll seal them up for a week and see what happens to them fantastic so while nate is pouring these dr. Joe you had mentioned that people you know they think okay well if I'm gonna drink so I might have to make sure you know brush my teeth right after do you know make sure that I'm keeping my teeth clean is that good or bad for you it's actually bad wait at least a half an hour because you have these minerals in your teeth calcium hydroxyapatite crystals that demineralized and when you demineralize them and then brush straight away you can actually brush the crystals away because it basically makes them kind of sharp and pointy and it's easy to just knock them off and so it will destroy your enamel over time doing that work or your dentin or your cementum depending on where you're brushing so you're basically just like brushing off part of your tooth if you do that yeah yes microscopic parts but if you do it over time you know it's bad for you especially like getting the orange juice and then brushing right after not only does it taste horrible but it you know well pergi so we've got going around coca-cola white vinegar carbonated water iced coffee 2% milk and lemon juice where to darkest liquids actually want to put the brightest white teeth I'm hoping we can see a color change all right I like that all right start choosing are they I'm assuming these are sanitized like making I would still put on gloves personally but it's up to you hey you've got gloves on all right I'll show ya let's do some bright ones in the coca-cola and coffee our coca-cola - goodbye white - oh it's [Music] a jar of vinegar vinegar let's go with a giant wisdom tooth dude we've seen what happens when you put eggs into vinegar it dissolves a shell I think several people may have seen the trick or you can take a turkey wishbone and leave that in vinegar for like a week and it becomes very rubbery so I'm curious to see what this is gonna do to the tooth what dissolve it will make it squishy all right another super white one for our coffee nope let's go ahead try one that really needs some calcium there's a bitter story - we'll be back in about a week yeah see what happened then set these on a counter and see what happens - only guess Oh guys it's been long heat we've got the cheese fitting than it is and I got okay it's been a week the teeth have been sitting in our liquids for the whole time I think it's time to to drain them out and see what's happened to our teeth big whiff definitely document over yes we have some crippling going on oh good oh wow it's actually getting stable the suction up the curtilage some of them to leave well we have some tooth yogurt especially not really a bad smell pour it on in it's not gonna straight I know this is just to find the true it's true oh there it is Oh No so here's you don't start now this is the tooth it was in milk what do you think do you think it looks like it's changed much no it looks pretty strong still well we'll see I'll feel it if you would like the calculus that we had on it it's still there it's still hard so yeah now this is fully intact still yeah we have calculus basically they weren't brushing and flossing well and lost bone over and tissue over time and kept getting lower and lower the body actually reacts to bacteria by pulling away fighting inflammation in having inflammation and tissue pulling away that's how it gets so much lower a to studying milk over a week is still okay interesting you can keep milk in your mouth for over a week I wouldn't suggest it but you can I'm not sure which liquid this is based on how much the top is bulging I'm guessing this is the carbonated water it doesn't smell like vinegar I was very concerned that you were about to drink even I am not quite that crazy to me this also looks like it's in pretty good condition and we're talking about how the carbonation isn't great for it because it does form an acid in the liquid and so that could be partially dissolving the tooth as well give us your thoughts so it doesn't scratch too easily I mean I wouldn't doubt that a regular tooth or scratch that much there might be a little bit softer it's really hard to tell the calculus though actually is just coming straight off so it definitely so yeah it probably did demineralize to some degree and it can be hard to tell the difference between like a hardness that you can't scratch it all and hardness that you guys barely scratch but over years of drinking that would yeah you know what trying to the milk one it's a little harder I'm still getting a scratch but the calculus is fair my hard earned is just it is coming off but at the same time it's it's still there where the calculus of this one dissolved I would say that the carbonated water did definitely do something definitely scratching off a little easier let's move on to what I assume is our vinegar okay to me the enamel on this one looks ruined yeah it definitely it looks very chalky and yeah oh my gosh that's my enamel of the tooth that just wiped off with yourself maybe this side was on the actual like close to the ground so from the glass where's your glass yeah and so but yeah look at how it just kind of wipes away that is the scoresheet tooth I wouldn't say it's like jello squishy but it's definitely as teeth go it's squishy for it squishy for again it's kind of like chocolates like it's a piece of wet chocolates breaking away so we had two teeth in here and we have a lot of what I think is just lemon pulp it's not actually dissolved - there's lemon pulp in there but we've got a very similar look on the enamel of these ones that bright white that I think it's gonna be chalky this is our lemon juice some of that enamel came off on my pliers as I was where my tweezers as I was pulling it out so I think that's at least as destroyed as the vinegar that's softer softer yeah look it's just wiped away oh my gosh so that's more like a paste than a chalk in and the reason why the dentin isn't wiping away is there's only 50% minerals and it's a lot of proteins here you grab on a little more in you you'll see I might've got just not this part yeah Oh Oh gross this is the one area it touched the glass and I just protect yeah it protected it but as you can see everywhere else it's basically just wiping the enamel right off all right one of these is coca-cola and one of these is coffee actually not okay so I was gonna say this is coca-cola via by the bulbs yeah carbonation I like see little self down that's definitely yep surprised that the enamel isn't to stain that's like an initial reaction is to say that doesn't look too stained but I would say a lot of the staining could probably come off yeah could come off with a good policy and I was just testing here to see if the the coffee had like degraded the enamel seems completely intact unlike our acids the hook is doing nothing to it and imagine I'm also just pulling away a layer of the dentin that was affected by the coffee but it is whitening it back up so it looks like it stained a very thin surface layer but that surface layer I mean I think it's damaging the tooth to scrape it away the way I am track although the main question what does coca-cola do tear to factor a week oh my gosh just get a get a quick look before I even take it out of the jar it might fall apart Oh No Wow Wow have you ever seen an actual tooth in someone's head that looked like that not all the way around but the surface area yes actually this is like this color I've seen basically it's just head we're doing this were they eating cigarettes probably chewing on some tar I really do think a lot of that staining again is the outside layer but a nice good dental cleaning like this and so what you're scraping off you think is something that would just grow back no no I this is cementum cementum is connected actually to the bone it's a fine layer and I think that's what we're stripping off which as I said I think it's a lot of the proteins of the periodontal that we're scraping off that animal yeah maybe it didn't come in a nice little yeah it's definitely crumbly a little bit but not not that bad comparatively yeah yeah yeah it sure has stained it and yeah it's definitely scraping off a little bit what are your takeaways from this you should be watching what you drink be careful make sure to brush and floss but if it's something very acidic wait at least a half an hour as we talked about and you know take good care of teeth go to the dentist every six months a lot of times people try to take good care of the teeth but they haven't gone in like five or six years and they get periodontal disease cavities and things that we could have fixed for very affordable but then in the end they waited too long and they ended up needing a root canal crown thank you guys thanks again to our sponsor for today's video war thunder or thunder is free to play on PC ps4 and Xbox and by registering today you can receive a free bonus of a premium tank aircraft warship as well as a three-day account boost so go ahead and click the link description to start playing today very cool to test this out with all these teeth that's it for today but you know we've always got more for you see click that box up at the top to check out our most recent video and we will see you in the next one talk to them [Music]
