This simple, non-invasive test evaluates the acidity or alkalinity of saliva to assess oral health. A low pH (acidic) can indicate a higher risk of tooth decay and enamel erosion, as acidic environments promote the growth of harmful bacteria. Conversely, a more alkaline pH can help neutralize acids and protect against cavities. Testing saliva pH helps identify potential issues related to diet, oral hygiene, and conditions like dry mouth, allowing for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.

Nutritional counseling for oral health helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral issues by promoting a balanced diet. It encourages the reduction of sugary and acidic foods, which can harm teeth, while increasing the intake of nutrients like calcium and vitamin C that support strong teeth and healthy gums.
