How bad is soft drink for your teeth?

Miss Watson had two wisdom teeth removed in the holidays. She decided to forfeit her tooth fairy money and bring them to school. We did an experiment to see how bad coca-cola really is for your pearly whites. We put one tooth in a container of coca-cola, and one in a container of water. After 7 days the tooth in the water stayed much the same, but the tooth in the coca-cola turned a horrible brown colour... and was SLIMY! GROSS! The tooth fairy won't want that one!

Dental Hygiene tips from Room 3
