Can the dentist test my oral pH?
The answer is yes! Your dentist can easily test your oral pH as part of a routine checkup. Oral pH is a measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of your saliva, and it can provide valuable information about your oral health. The normal range for oral pH is between 6.2 and 7.6. A pH below 5.5 can indicate an increased risk of tooth decay, while a pH above 7.6 can indicate an increased risk of gum disease.
