Tongue Scraper Set

Description

Our high-quality tongue scraper, made of medical grade 304 stainless steel, is an effective tool for tongue cleaning. While tongue scraping has ancient origins, its recent surge in popularity is attributed to its benefits for oral hygiene and fresh breath. Alongside brushing and flossing, tongue cleaning helps eliminate harmful bacteria, food particles, and dead cells that can accumulate on the tongue, potentially leading to various oral health issues such as periodontal problems, plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Studies indicate that tongue scraping can be more effective than brushing alone in removing bacteria and combating bad breath. The benefits of tongue scraping include improved taste sensation, reduced dental decay, fresher breath, and enhanced overall health by promoting better oral hygiene, potentially reducing the risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and cancer.

To use the tongue scraper effectively:
1. Wash the tongue scraper with warm water.
2. Extend your tongue and gently position the rounded end of the scraper at the back of your tongue.
3. Using the handles, slowly pull the scraper toward the tip of your tongue, gently scraping from back to front with 5 to 10 strokes.
4. After each scrape, clean debris from the scraper using water or a tissue.
5. Wash the tongue scraper with hot water and soap if necessary, then dry and store it in a clean area.
6. The entire process typically takes one to two minutes and can be repeated throughout the day, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach after brushing your teeth to remove overnight toxins.
