Why dont get teeth get burned  when someone gets caught on fire?

A lot of bones don't burn either.  At least, not in a regular fire.  The temperature needs to be about 1,800 degrees fahrenheit for the bones and teeth to burn.

fire is the heat let off by oxidation (bonding oxygen to other compounds) since the oxygen in water is already bonded to hydrogen it can't be used in the oxidation of the fuel of the fire. water w/ it's high heat capacity absorbes a lot of energy  and also prevents oxygen from getting to the fuel.

This happened to me a few times before I realized something. Don't brush your teeth anywhere near the time when you want to use the white strips--I'm talking many hours. If I brushed my teeth in the morming and used whitestrips in the late afternoon, I was fine. Otherwise it burned!

A regular fire, like in a fireplace or campfire, consists of burning organic material such as wood or other plant material which is mainly made from Carbon, with hydrogen. When the wood burns, the carbon combines with oxygen. It releases a lot of energy that was stored in the chemical bonds of the wood.\n\nAs the wood burns, some of it is very hot, and other parts are not yet hot, are heating up or are being burned loose and carried away by the currents of air moving between the sticks of wood. So the fire is giving off Carbon dioxide, partially burned fractions of the wood, hot ut unburned pieces of the wood, and pieces of wood that are hardly hot at all. In some cases, there will be carbon atoms that are hot but they were in a part of the fire where all the oxygen had been used up, so those atoms may be hot but not burned. \n\nAll these various materials can be glowing with heat. Because they are all different temperatures, they have different colors.  It might be easier to see this in a candle flame than in a fire. \n\nIf you look at the candle flame you see a part where the actual combustion is taking place - that is, where there are carbon atoms actually in the process of combining with oxygen. That area might be quite hot and have no color at all. But there is probably an area above that which is yellow - that's probably unburned carbon atoms which are glowing from heat, but they are cooling off. As they cool off you see an area where they are no longer yellow. If you put a cool piece of glass or metal in that part of the flame, it will collect a coating of the unburned carbon atoms, what we call 'soot'.\n\nPeople have been looking at candles for a long time, trying to understand how the burning process works. So I think you could go all the way back to Michael Faraday in the mid 1800s for a book on candles and flames, and some updated versions on the web.

Definately! Try playing Australian Rules Football and see what happens. They don't wear any protection except a mouth guard, some don't even wear that because they have no teeth left to protect!

no it causes no memory loss hat so ever, if anything you will DIE immediately after large doses. And when you blow out th flame the gas incinerates and is no longer. So once you burn the gas... there is no gas left at ALL.\nIt just turns into something like carbon monoxide and other.

No way. One that is plan rude to the fireman that have to put it out should it get out of control. What if someone got seriously injury or worse killed.

Wow dude you wanna play with fire? the get ready to get burned... I hope it doesn't hurt too much!!!

Fire is simply a term that we use to describe a chemical reaction that results in the release of incandescent gas (usually due to the effects of the high temperature of the reaction on the reaction product (gas)).\n\nOrdinary wood fires are not hot enough to create plasma, the fourth state of matter. The sun is an incandescent ball of plasma, so it is technically not "fire" although it may appear to be so. A burning match, while hot, is not nearly hot enough to convert gas into plasma.

They are hot enough to cause severe burns or even death. A lot of fireworks use phosphorous ingredients which burn even underwater. Do NOT aim ANY fireworks at someone else at ANY time. They are to be aimed into the sky, and ONLY into the sky, away from homes, woods, grasses, etc which could catch fire. Its stupid behavior like this which forces lawmakers to make fireworks illegal to have privately.

The scientific explanation is that it doesn't happen. They're still arguing over it.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion

The tooth is basically encased in bone. They usually cut away the "roof" of bone and a little bit around the tooth to get it out. The hole that is left over usually fills back in with bone and shouldn't cause any problems.

We either throw them in a "biohazard" container so they can be properly destroyed or sometimes we have dental students ask us to save extracted teeth for them so they can use them to practice.\n\nWe don't usually give people their teeth unless they are "baby" teeth. They just have too many germs on them.

Fires need oxygen to burn.

Because all of the blood goes to the head. You can notice too that when people are embarrased, their face is hot and red too.

why are you on fire......... lol

They primarily used flint, and carried around a small box full of tinder.  This was called a "tinderbox"..  it's a box with flint inlaid in the wood, a stone to scrape against the flint, and a small store of wood shavings or wood dust that would catch fire easily.\n\nThese days you're better off carrying a box of waterproof matches, though.  Or a cigarette lighter -- works on the same principle, actually.  Flint striker and a store of flammable material to make the flame.  :)
