- Evaluate the pH of saliva to determine the level of acidity in the mouth
- Acid is produced by oral bacteria and carbohydrates
- There are several factors that may influence acid production:
- Diet
- Eating habits
- Dehydration
- Smoking
- Poor oral hygiene
- Excessive plaque build-up
- If the mouth is continuously exposed to acid production, demineralization occurs
- This process may lead to the erosion of tooth enamel, dental caries, or eventually periodontal disease
