How Water's Acidity Affects Tooth Decay and Strength

A study published in the Dental Materials Journal found that the acidity of electrolyzed water used in dental care can affect tooth decay and strength. The researchers discovered that water with a neutral pH was most effective in preventing tooth decay and maintaining tooth strength. This finding can inform dentists about the best water acidity to use for different treatments, leading to better outcomes for patients.
