Potential of Hydrogen(pH)-Saliva

This test measures the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of saliva. Salivary pH may be used to assess the oral environment, which can influence tooth enamel health, risk of dental decay, dry mouth symptoms, and oral microbial balance. Healthcare professionals may order it when evaluating oral health concerns or monitoring factors that affect saliva composition. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms, dental findings, diet, medications, and other relevant clinical information.
