FAQ’s
Why is 7.0 pH so important to your health?
The pH scale is used to measure whether a substance is an acid or alkaline from a range of 1-14. A pH of 7.0 is right in the middle. It’s considered “balanced” or “neutral.” Our bodies thrive with a neutral pH.
Achieving 7.0 pH is healthier for the environment of your mouth. It protects teeth from erosion and cavities and lowers the activity of harmful bacteria. Maintaining a neutral pH balance and regular tooth brushing will serve to help your teeth and gums stay healthy.
Better oral health helps the rest of your body stay healthier. Without irritants and harmful bacteria, your teeth can start the process of remineralization, of healing and re-growing that will serve to make your mouth a healthier place going forward.
