It depends on which parts of the the tooth are considered, but pH 6.7 and below is an accurate answer in a general sense. In a living organism, a tooth is constantly being demineralised and remineralised and at pH 5.5 the rates of demineralisation and remineralisation are roughly equal. Below pH 5.5 the rate of demineralisation is the greater and the tooth is effectively being corroded away.

What is the role of pH in tooth decay?
PH levels indicate how acidic or basic a substance is. A pH lower than 7 is acidic and higher than 7 is basic. Since acids dissolve tooth enamel, I would say that substance with lower pHs are more likely to lead to tooth decay.
