Today, I'm going to try out an experiment and see what happens if you leave a tooth sat in a bottle of coca-cola.
This is a front tooth or incisor tooth
which fell out recently from the mouth of my 6 years old nephew and
he kindly donated to this project.
You can see it looks in good healthy condition.
It is nice and clean and there is no pitting on it
and the only reason it fell out is to make way for the larger adult teeth to push through
I'm not a dentist but I guess this hole is where the root held in place.
I'm gonna to put it inside a bottle of coca-cola and leave it to sit for a week
to see what happens.
So I dropped it in the top
and screw the lid back on.
You can see it on the bottom of the bottle looking nice clean shiny and white
So I put the bottle down and left it sitting there.
After three days, I decided to take a look.
You can see it started to discolor and it's not nearly as bright as it was.
and it actually looks like there's a brown dirty layer starting to coat it.
After five days, the layer has build up even more and it
looks really dirty
I can't tell yet if it's just on the surface on the tooth or
it is ingrained a bit deeper.
After a week, you can see it's looking really black.
And it's time to take it out of the bottle.
So I took the lid off and strained it through a sieve to get it out.
But it's stuck inside of the bottle so I though it will be a good opportunity to take a look at it.
I gave it a good shake and it did come out.
And you can see how black and disgusting it looks.
The color change is incredible but at this stage I still don't know if it's just on the surface of the tooth
And whether it will wipe off
So I took a hold of it
and gave it a scratch
There's definitely a layer which rubs off
but it has dramatically stain the tooth as well .
You can see the top where it has become soft and flexible.
And if I use my tweezers you can actually rip it off because it's so soft.
And there is a skanky build up inside too.
You can see the surface of the tooth no longers looks clean and smooth
It now looks pitted and in a really terrible condition
The coke has stain the tooth and it is completely corroded.
And that's just from sitting in it for one week.
So I though it would be interesting to see what it looks like if we leave it in for a month.
I decided to reuse the same coke
So I poured it back to the bottle with a little bit of spillage.
Then drop the tooth back in
and screw on the lid.
And I will leave it there for another 24 days so it's been for a month in total
And I will show you the result when it is done.
