It’s important to brush and floss your teeth daily, if not twice a day. But what about your tongue? Most dental routines focus on the teeth and gums while neglecting it. Instead of brushing your tongue, invest in Tongue Cleaners/Scrapers. Drs. Joseph Dallessandro and Jiah Choi recommend these handheld dental appliances. They remove coatings off your tongue by scraping away the dead cells and bacteria. Learn more at our office in New York, NY.
Tongue cleaning apparatuses are sold at most grocery stores and supermarkets. They are a great and inexpensive investment. Using them is simple and easy! Start off by placing the scraper at the back of your tongue. Slowly move it forward, scraping your tongue as you go. Once you reach the tip, rinse off the cleaner. Clean out your mouth with water as well. Repeat for as many times as necessary
There are a handful of benefits to daily tongue cleanings. Tongue coatings are caused by dry mouth, smoking, yeast infections, medications, and poor oral hygiene. Removing the build-up of dead cells improves your breath. Certain scientific studies state that daily tongue cleaning can improve your overall sense of taste. Removing harmful bacteria will improve your health.
Use caution and the right amount of force when cleaning. The sharp edges that clean the tongue can also cut you. Be cautious of where and how much pressure you are using. Try to avoid activating your gag reflex.
