Q12. Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given questions accordingly.
(03 Marks)
Tooth decay starts when the pH of the mouth is lower than 5.5. Tooth enamel, made up of
calcium hydroxyapatite (a crystalline form of calcium phosphate) is the hardest substance in the
body. It does not dissolve in water, but is corroded when the pH in the mouth is below 5.5.
Bacteria present in the mouth produce acids by degradation of sugar and food particles
remaining in the mouth after eating. The best way to prevent this is to clean the mouth after
eating food. Using toothpastes, which are generally basic, for cleaning the teeth can neutralise the
excess acid and prevent tooth decay.

You might have heard that the pH level in the body affects your health. Studies have shown that
lower, or acidic, pH levels are associated with a greater risk of serious health conditions including
type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Studies have also shown that higher, or alkaline, pH
levels are linked to improvements in memory and cognition, reduced pain, and lower risk of
hypertension (high blood pressure), and stroke.

Another interesting link is pH levels and bone health. Extensive research has been conducted on
the effects of pH on bone health, and studies have discovered that low-acid diets can help improve
bone density. According to Dr. Sara Gottfried, the Journal of Nutrition published a study that
stated that alkaline mineral waters can decrease bone resorption and even lower parathyroid
hormone levels which regulate the release of calcium from bone.

An alkaline diet is one that incorporates foods that can increase the pH levels. Interestingly, an
alkaline diet is associated with an increase in growth hormone which can burn fat, improve
libido, and retain a general sense of well-being.

Maintaining a good pH balance in the mouth allows a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria.
Many of the good bacteria in our mouth are harmless and some bacteria, known as probiotics,
aid in the digestion of foods. Other good bacteria actually protect our teeth and gums.

Certain foods, such as sugary beverages, snacks, and some grains, increase the acidity in the mouth.
The pH of the mouth can change dramatically with the types of foods we eat. Foods that are highly
acidic, like lemons, lowers the pH, while foods like melons increases the pH.
The saliva can help neutralize the acid, but eating acidic foods can increase the acidity of the saliva.
If the pH takes a long time to neutralize in the mouth, it may give bad bacteria enough time to
wreak havoc on the teeth and gums. Typically, it may take a few minutes or a few hours for the pH
to neutralize. An acidic mouth is an optimal environment for bad bacteria to grow, and if given the
time and the ability, it can cause tooth decay.

1. The pH of mouth is generally-

(a) Less than 7
(b) Greater than 7
(c) Equal to 7
(d) Cannot be determined.
2. The hardest substance in the body has _______________ and __________ elements as the
major components.
3. What according to you, could be the reason of not allowing the kids to eat plenty of
chocolates?
