Surprise! ...Toothpaste?

A solution of toothpaste (sodium fluoride) and water was tested.

Even though we use this product everyday (at least, I hope everyone does), we still need to remember that we can't swallow toothpaste. We're not little kids, but in case anyone does, Poison Control needs to be called.


It turns out that toothpaste is basic in nature, as the blueberry juice changes into a dark purple colour. In fact, you can learn more about dental health and how it's related to neutralization reactions here.
