The pH of the mouth is slightly basic (about 7.4). This is because an enzyme called salivary amylase that breaks down carbohydrates can only work in a slightly basic conditions. If the pH was drastically reduced by means of acid (coke and other sodas) Not only will amylase denature, but the bacterias that are living in your mouth will start to rot your teeth.
