Tongue scraping is a fast way to remove debris, bacteria, and dead cells can build up on your tongue over time. This can lead to bad breath and have a negative impact on your overall oral health.

Using a tongue scraper can help remove this buildup, as well as:

Improve your sense of taste. Your tongue may be able to better distinguish between bitter, sweet, salty, and sour sensations if you use a tongue cleaner daily.
Improve the appearance of your tongue. Buildup of excess debris can cause your tongue to take on a white, coated appearance. Daily scraping removes this coating and prevent it from returning.
Remove bacteria. Lactobacilli bacteria in the mouth is known to cause bad breath and dental decay. Removing this bacteria improves your breath and protects your teeth from decay.
Improve overall health. Removing bad bacteria is key to preventing cavities, gum disease, and other conditions affecting the mouth and body.
Reduce bad breath. Scraping your tongue is more effective than brushing at removing odor-causing bacteria.

We recommend using the Dr. Tung’s stainless steel tongue cleaner. You can order it on Amazon or at the practice!
