Academy Of General Dentistry. “Dental Erosion -- Consume Pickles, Lemons And Soft Drinks In Moderation.” ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 29 May 2005. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/05/050528150334.htm>. This article is mostly about how soft drinks, fruit juice, and fresh fruit can cause dental erosion. The Academy of General Dentistry gives information about what causes tooth erosion and the process of tooth erosion. I used this information in my background knowledge to know about dental erosion.
Armbruster, David C. “Citric acid.” World Book Student. World Book, 2014. Web. 11 Apr. 2014. This article is mostly about what citric acid is and how it is used. Citric acid makes fruits such as limes taste sour. It is used for flavoring soft drinks and pharmaceuticals (medicinal drugs). I used this information in my background knowledge to collect more information about citric acids.
Lew, Kristi. Acids and Bases. New York City: Infobase, 2009. Print. This book is mostly about what acids and bases are and how they affect items in the world. Acids and bases are determined by their properties. Both of these react to each other. Acids break down metals and taste sour. Bases taste bitter and feel slippery. I used this information in my background knowledge to learn more about acids.
Smith, Michael W., et al., eds. Web MD. Web MD, 2014. Web. 4 Apr. 2014. <http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/tooth-enamel-erosion-restoration>. This article helps and gives information about someone’s health. For example, oral health, family & pregnancy, living healthy, and medicines. The article that I used is about your tooth enamel. Information this article contains is what tooth enamel is, what it does, and what causes tooth erosion. Enamel is the thin outer covering of your tooth. Teeth can become eroded by environmental factors, eating habits, genetics, medicines, and saliva. I used this information in my background knowledge of what causes teeth to erode.
Wortel, John P. “Teeth.” World Book Student. World Book, 2014. Web. 1 Apr. 2014 This article is mostly about human teeth. It shows the types of teeth, structure of a tooth, how to care for your teeth, dental decay and diseases, and animal teeth. The dental decay section includes causes and how to treat dental decay, malocclusion, periodontal diseases, and oral cancer. Structure of teeth include the pulp, dentin, enamel, cementum, and periodontal ligament. To care for your teeth and gums, eat a good diet, clean your teeth, and visit a dentist. I used this information in my background knowledge of tooth structure and dental decay to understand the effect of acid on tooth enamel.
