I am doing a major chemistry project for assessment in Year 12, and I am 
interested in investigating how eating different foods changes the pH of salvia, if 
the change is good or bad for dental health, and how buffering works in saliva.  
Could you please help? Also, any extensions on the project idea would be gratefully 
appreciated.
