Walter J.: Can you really detect hyperacidity through a saliva test?
No. This requires more extensive but also more cost-intensive tests. But the saliva test has proven to be a good index to initiate proper hyperacidity tests such as blood gas analysis, vital blood analysis, kidney excretion, skin pH, hair mineral analysis etc.
The majority of oral saliva is made up of extracellular fluid. It is therefore a good indicator for this. It should not be confused with the contents of the mouth, which often produce meaningless measurements through food, drinks, chewing gum, toothpaste or caries bacteria.
Fresh, stimulated saliva that comes from the salivary gland below the tongue must be measured. A saliva value of pH 7 is still tolerable. If it falls below pH 7, the teeth are already at risk. I see a value below pH 6,5 as the intervention threshold for deacidification measures.
