Why oral pH is important?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:10:36+03:00

To maintain oral health, saliva should be neutral or slightly alkaline - between 5.5 and 7pH. A moderate level of acidity in saliva allows it to fully perform its protective functions, which significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. Poor brushing and a diet high in sugary foods create favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, which can lead to gum and dental disease. How to promote an optimal pH level in the oral cavity? 🦷 Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day. 🦷 Floss regularly (every day!) or use a toothbrush
