Tongue cleaning for fresh breath

Brushing your teeth is not enough. You should also clean your tongue to achieve optimum oral health.

Recent studies showed that regular tongue cleaning effectively reduces the number of harmful oral bacteria.

The back of your tongue is actually the favorite breeding ground for bacteria that causes bad breath, plaque, gingivitis and tooth decay. Reducing the number of these microorganisms is very important. You can easily accomplish this using a tongue cleanser, together with proper brushing and flossing. Here are some facts to help you understand why tongue cleaning is important:

• Only one out of ten people did not suffer from bad breath
• Only 10 % of all the reasons for bad breath is NOT mouth-related.
• About 80% of the unpleasant smell originated from the back of the mouth.

• Cleaning your tongue is important if you want to remove harmful bacteria located in the grooves and fissures of your tongue and achieve a healthy mouth.
• Using a special tongue cleanser is actually 7x more effective that cleaning your tongue with toothbrush alone.
• Brushing your teeth AND cleaning your tongue is 3 ½x more effective than simple brushing.

To maximize tongue cleaning, using the popular Tongue Detox is recommended. The lightweight and ergonomically-designed tongue cleaner can minimize gag reflex and comes with a minty aroma. It can effectively remove plaque-causing bacteria, odour, food debris, dead cells and even the white/brown gel-like coating of your tongue, each time you use it.
