The tongue, often overlooked, serves vital functions such as aiding in chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Covered in small bumps or papillae, it allows us to perceive the texture and taste of items in our mouths.
Foreign material can easily enter the mouth, leading to bacterial buildup on the tongue, even with diligent oral hygiene. Tongue scraping effectively removes debris, promoting oral health. Typically made from plastic, tongue scrapers are easy to use and affordable.
Brushing your tongue with a toothbrush is a common practice, but adding a tongue scraper helps prevent bacterial and food debris buildup, reducing the risk of oral issues.
