Preston Ridge Dental

When was the last time someone checked the pH of your saliva? If you've never even heard of that, you're not alone.

We test it at every hygiene appointment in my Frisco dental office because it tells us a LOT. If your saliva is acidic, your mouth is basically rolling out the red carpet for high risk bacteria. They love that environment. They multiply faster, they attach to your teeth, and they start doing damage before you even notice anything is wrong.

Your saliva should be slightly neutral or slightly alkaline, but dehydration throws it off. Medications throw it off. Coffee, diet soda, mouth breathing, all of it shifts the pH and creates an environment your teeth were never designed to live in.

So when we test it and it comes back acidic, we're not just talking about brushing and flossing anymore. We're talking about hydration, nutrition, what you're drinking all day, how you're breathing at night.
