System has reached critical levels! 🤯
Critical pH refers to the pH level at which 🦷 demineralization occurs. When the oral pH drops below the critical level (5.5), enamel loses minerals, becomes weakened, and increases cavity 🦠 risk! This pH level is a key factor in understanding how frequently sugary foods/drinks contribute to cavities! We know that repeated exposures to sugars or acids keeps the pH ⬇️ ⬇️ the critical level, hurting enamel, causing bad breath 🤢, and increasing cavity 🦠 risk!!
Let’s promote good oral pH and fight cavities 💪. Eliminate sugar sweetened drinks! Discontinue repeated, ultra processed carb snacks between meals! Consider an alkaline style diet loaded with veggies, leafy greens, fruits, whole grains, protein, nuts, berries…
…just eat like Tom Brady 😉
