Tongue Scraper

Stainless steel tongue scraper. 

Using a tongue scraper can help with the following:

Improve your sense of taste. Using a tongue scraper twice daily can improve your sense of taste. Your tongue may be able to better distinguish between bitter, sweet, salty, and sour sensations.

Improve the appearance of your tongue. Buildup of excess debris can cause your tongue to take on a white, coated appearance. Daily scraping can help remove this coating and prevent it from returning.

Remove bacteria. Certain bacteria is known to cause bad breath and dental decay.

Improve overall health. Removing bacteria is key to preventing cavities, gum disease, and other conditions affecting the mouth. 

Reduce bad breath. Although tongue scraping can’t replace brushing your teeth, scraping may do some things better. Research has found that scraping was more effective than brushing at removing odor-causing bacteria.
