Greens are great. : Green juices are phenomenal at alkalizing your ph. A little lemon juice in your water will also alkalize you through the krebs cycle. Oral bacteria can be reduced through frequent flossing, brushing and tongue scraping. Coconut oil pulling is also beneficial.

Hard question!: There are many who would advocate certain diets to reduce high acid levels, but there are no real clear answers. We can tell you what not to eat, including foods with high amounts of sugar, fruit juices, carbonated beverages, pickles, yogurt, honey, etc. There are products on the market that work to raise oral ph to make the mouth less hospitable to acid loving cavity causing bacteria -.

Balanced diet: Limit all sugars and simple carbs. Eat healthy, well balanced meals including vegetables. Cheeses are great in moderation. Limit snacking and drinks between meals (except water) but the most important thing to do is brush, floss, and an use antibacterial rinse. Chewing sugar free gum between meals can help stimulate salivary flow which buffers the acids. See dentist atleast twice yearly!
