The pH scale is simply a\u00a0measure of how acidic an environment is, and 7 is the neutral point. The Stephan curve says that when the pH drops below 5.5, your teeth will begin to demineralize\/dissolve. It takes about 30 minutes for your saliva to get out of the danger zone where your teeth are susceptible to demineralization.<\/span><\/p>\n
