Tongue Scraping
There are a number of ways to take care of your oral health, from regular brushing and flossing to gargling mouthwash.
Another method that is effective in combating bad breath is tongue scraping.
- Our tongues are one of the causes – but not the only one – of bad breath.
- There are tongue scrapers you can buy but many people simply use their toothbrush.
- If bad breath persists it’s worth seeking a medical opinion. Read about halitosis.
- Start at the back of the tongue (but not too far back to avoid gagging), and make sure to scrape or brush the whole surface area of the tongue.
- Avoid scraping too hard, and rinse the mouth out once finished.
