Quotes of the Day

Ideally, you should take a mouth acidity (pH) reading in the morning, right after you wake up. This will give you a recording that is independent of changes caused by eating or drinking. Begin the test by spitting a small amount of saliva into a spoon and dipping a strip of litmus paper (or a litmus stick) into the liquid. If you test your resting or morning saliva and find it's neutral or alkaline, you will generally have good salivary protection for your teeth. If you find your saliva is acidic, you may be at higher risk for cavities and tooth decay. A true healthy mouth ideally has a resting acidity measurement of close to pH7. Any time your mouth's acidity level falls below the number 6, you should be worried about your teeth. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
