Evaluating the Erosive Potential of Beverages Sold at the Schofield Barracks Dental Clinic and Some Possible Less Erosive Alternative Beverages Sold at the Schofield Barracks Commissary
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to measure and compare the pH levels of beverages sold within the Schofield Barracks Dental Clinic as well as some possible less erosive beverages sold at the base Commissary. Previous studies have demonstrated that beverages with a pH below 3.0 are considered extremely erosive. In addition, the author has proposed a new beverage labeling system that takes added sugar and pH into account.
