let in
daily Life? Give reason why does
tooth decay start when pH of mouth is
lower then 5.5. long answer
Answers
Explanation:
pH plays a very important role in our everyday life. 1. In our digestive system :Hydrochloric acid produced in our stomach helps the digestion of food without causing any harm to the stomach. But when the amount of the acid goes beyond a certain limit due to indigestion, pain and irritation are created in the stomach.
When the pH in the mouth falls below 5.5, tooth decay starts. Bacteria present in the mouth produce acid by degradation of sugar and food particles which remain in the mouth after eating. The acid produced in the mouth attack the enamel thereby, creating tooth decay.
Explanation:
pH stands for power of hyderogen.
It is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
HCl produced in the stomach is important for digestion. Hyperacidity (increases in the amount of acid during indigestion) causes pain and irritation. The excess acid is neutralised by the intake of antacids such as magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia).
Stings of insects such as bees, ants, wasps contain methanoic acid which cause pain and irritation. Use of a mild base like baking soda on the stung area gives relief.
When the pH inside the mouth becomes lower than 5.5, it causes tooth decay. Toothpastes are generally basic. They neutralise the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.
