*Why Mouth pH Matters
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. The ideal pH level in the mouth is slightly acidic to neutral, typically around 6.2 to 7.6. This range supports a healthy balance of microorganisms and protects dental tissues.
Tooth Decay—When the pH in your mouth drops below 5.5, the environment becomes too acidic, leading to the demineralization of tooth enamel. Acidogenic bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, thrive in these conditions, producing acids that further lower the pH and accelerate the decay process. This cycle results in cavities and, if left untreated, can lead to more severe dental issues.
Enamel Erosion—Enamel, the hard outer surface of your teeth, is highly susceptible to acid damage. Consistently low pH levels erode enamel, making teeth more sensitive and prone to damage. Unlike other tissues in the body, enamel does not regenerate, so preventing erosion is crucial.
Periodontal Disease—An imbalanced pH can also contribute to periodontal disease. Alkaline conditions can disrupt the oral microbiome, fostering the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause gum inflammation, bleeding, and eventually, tooth loss. Maintaining a balanced pH helps preserve the integrity of the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth.
