<p class="DGspeakableP1">As a part of complete health dentistry, saliva pH levels not only assess the hydrogen levels in the mouth but the body as a whole. The pH level of the mouth can differ from the rest of the body at different times of the day, but the saliva’s pH affects the body nonetheless. Saliva pH reveals the connection between oral and systemic health, and understanding the link can significantly enhance one’s wellbeing.</p>
<p class="DGspeakableP2">The level of pH in saliva plays a tremendous role in oral health and hygiene. The levels fluctuate depending on the type of food and drinks consumed throughout the day, but consistently low or high levels can severely impact the teeth and gums. Knowing the meaning behind pH levels, controlling them, and recognizing the various foods and beverages that positively influence the oral cavity can promote not only oral health but complete systemic health.</p>
<p>Complete health dentistry and saliva ph testing are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. We can provide information regarding saliva ph testing and answer any questions you may have. Call us at <a title="Click to call University Dental Associates at (718) 733-6600" href="tel:+1-718-733-6600" class="TLBC" id="CTC-Phone-Formatted-0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">(718) 733-6600</a> to learn more or  schedule a consultation appointment.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Potential hydrogen, or pH, levels refer to the chemical level of a substance and range from most acidic (0) to most alkaline (14) with a midpoint of 7 (pure drinking water). Normal saliva should remain between 6.2 and 7.6 pH, with a slightly higher alkaline level. The <a title="Read more about Water and the Human Body" href="https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/water-you-water-and-human-body?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Saliva-Ph-Testing">human body</a> consists of about 60% water, and pH levels need to be close to that to sustain it.</p>
<p><b>Acidic pH</b> describes substances that fall below a pH of 7, such as coffee, vinegar, and soda. Acidic substances cause acids in the mouth to demineralize, or break down, tooth enamel and expose the dentin. Dentin is the inner layer beneath the enamel; when exposed, teeth become sensitive to hot, cold, and sugary drinks.</p>
<p><b>Alkaline pH</b> describes substances that rise above a pH of 7, including alcoholic beverages, seawater, and antacids. People with higher alkaline pH levels tend to have frequent dental problems.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Conditions</h3>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Acidic saliva contributes to the acidity level throughout the body. Blood with a low pH level is too acidic and can be associated with high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Salivary pH levels that are too acidic affect the oral cavity. A <a title="Read more about 2013 periodontology study Salivary pH: A diagnostic biomarker" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3800408/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Saliva-Ph-Testing">2013 periodontology study</a> found that "patients with generalized chronic periodontitis had more acidic pH." Therefore, saliva pH testing can determine acidity levels in the mouth and body and diagnose many conditions and their contributing factors.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>People experiencing low pH levels tend to suffer from persistent bad breath, sensitivity to hot and cold, and frequent cavity development. Consistently low pH levels can lead to acidosis, a condition in which the lungs and kidneys cannot balance the body’s pH levels. In this case, symptoms include fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, and lack of appetite.</p>

<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Conditions</h3>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Salivary pH levels containing high alkaline levels affect the blood’s pH. Having too much alkaline in the blood (pH above 7) can contribute to many conditions affecting the mouth and body. The same 2013 study found that the salivary pH was more alkaline for patients with generalized chronic gingivitis. High alkaline levels in the blood can lead to alkalosis. A pH high in alkaline can result from decreased carbon dioxide levels, an increase in bicarbonate, low potassium levels, alcohol abuse, or hypokalemia.</p>
<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Symptoms</h3>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>High alkaline pH has the same oral symptoms as acidic pH levels: persistent bad breath, sensitivity to hot and cold, and frequent cavity development. Alkalosis symptoms include nausea, numbness, prolonged muscle spasms, tremors, twitching, dizziness, confusion and in severe cases, stupor and comas.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Salivary pH levels can be tested in our office using pH strips. Patients should not eat or drink for at least two hours prior to the test to attain the most accurate results. As pH levels change throughout the day with food and beverages, the test results may be inconclusive.</p>
<p>To perform the test, the patient needs to collect and fill their mouth with saliva, then spit it out. They will repeat the process of collecting and filling the mouth, but this time, placing saliva on a test strip. The strip will change colors according to the pH level, red being the lowest (acidic) and purple being the highest (alkaline). We will be able to tell you the exact pH number.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Improving pH Levels</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The most effective way to improve or balance the pH levels in saliva, we recommend consuming foods and beverages with a midrange pH. However, much of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals the body needs are lost in neutral pH foods. Therefore, adjusting both acidic and alkaline levels and limiting certain behaviors can positively influence salivary pH levels.</p>
<p>Behaviors that can be adjusted according to <a title="Read more about How do I keep a balanced pH in my mouth?" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/ph-of-saliva#balancing-ph" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Saliva-Ph-Testing">Healthline</a> include:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li>Avoiding sugary soft drinks (drink them quickly and follow up with water)</li>
<li>Avoiding black coffee (add dairy, not a sugary flavored creamer, to counteract acidity)</li>
<li>Avoiding brushing teeth right after drinking highly-acidic beverages as they soften tooth enamel (brushing can further damage the enamel)</li>
<li>Chewing gum (sugarless gum - preferably one with <a title="Read more about Xylitol: Everything You Need to Know" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xylitol-101" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Saliva-Ph-Testing">xylitol</a> - encourages saliva production; xylitol prevents bacteria from sticking to tooth enamel)</li>

<p class="answers"><span>A.</span> Many people who are concerned about their pH levels or are aware of its importance will research frequently consumed items (i.e. fruits, vegetables, dairy products, beverages) to find their pH levels.

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">To maintain a balanced pH, rinse your mouth with alkaline water or solution at least five times after drinking carbonated beverages. You can also use baking soda, saltwater, or xylitol in water. These solutions both clean your mouth as well as raise the pH levels in the mouth.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Foods and beverages that tend to cause more acidity include, but are not limited to: grains, sugar, certain dairy products, fish, processed foods, fresh meats and processed meats (such as corned beef and turkey), sodas and other caffeinated beverages, and high-protein foods and supplements.
