Saliva pH Testing: What It Reveals About Your Health
Saliva acts as the primary buffer protecting your teeth from demineralization and pathogenic bacterial proliferation. Saliva pH testing gives immediate insights into oral microbiome health and systemic acid balance.
Understanding Saliva Buffer Capacity
Healthy saliva maintains a neutral pH between 6.8 and 7.4. When saliva drops below the critical pH threshold of 5.5, hydroxyapatite minerals begin dissolving from tooth enamel, leading to rapid decay. By measuring buffer capacity, we can reverse acidity before cavities take hold.
Pathogen Screening & Microbiome Balance
Saliva pathogen testing identifies specific high-risk bacteria strains like P. gingivalis, linked to arterial inflammation and cardiovascular disease. We customize probiotic regimens and ozonated therapy based on quantitative salivary results.
