What is the normal saliva pH value

The normal pH value of saliva is 6.6-7.1, which represents the acidity and alkalinity of saliva. Too high or too low will reflect one's health and may also be caused by personal diet.

If the pH value of saliva is slightly elevated, it may be caused by eating some foods with high salt content or excessive gastric acid secretion. Improving your diet may help improve your symptoms. If it is much higher than the normal value, it may be caused by abnormal acid-base balance, gastritis or gastric ulcer, or infection with Helicobacter pylori. Generally, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to complete electronic gastroscopy and carbon 13 breath test, which will help diagnose the disease. Then, quadruple drug treatment, such as amoxicillin, icabedate, mosapride, omeprazole and other drugs, helps control the disease.

If the saliva pH value is lower than normal, the body may be in a sub-healthy state, often suffering from lack of physical strength, decreased resistance, and may also be tenacious, because of bad eating habits, such as frequent consumption of fried and greasy foods, reduced intake of vegetables and fruits, which can cause low pH values. If not taken seriously in time, obesity, high blood pressure or diabetes may occur, which will have an adverse effect on your health.
