Acid in our mouth is primarily produced by bacteria in dental plaque breaking down sugars and carbohydrates from our food. This acid can demineralize tooth enamel and lead to tooth decay if not properly managed through good oral hygiene practices.

Would pepsin work in your mouth?

No. Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach called pepsinogen. In order to become active, it has to come into contact with HCl (hydrochloric acid). HCl isn't present in your mouth (I hope!), so pepsinogen, even if it WERE in your mouth, could never become active there.No, the pepsin enzyme is located in the stomach, the enzymes amylase and lipase are found in saliva in the mouth
