What's The BEST Tongue Scraper? - Reviewed by Dr. Nemeth #shorts

Maintaining fresh breath is an essential part of oral hygiene that is often overlooked. One promising tool that many have yet to utilize to its fullest potential is the tongue scraper. Let’s dive into how these tools can elevate your daily dental care.

Tongue scrapers are designed specifically to address a common issue many experience: bad breath. The main culprit behind halitosis is the bacteria that reside on the tongue's surface. Using a tongue scraper efficiently removes this bacterial film, leading to fresher breath and a cleaner mouth.

Not all tongue scrapers are created equal—there are several different designs meant for diverse user needs.

Typically having a firm, sometimes even hard edge, this design aims to strip away the unwanted film from your tongue's surface effectively. However, one caveat of its use is for those prone to gagging—it might be problematic due to its size and potential reach into the back of the mouth.

A variation of the traditional scraper, the Aura Brush is less wide and incorporates a brush-like feature. Its slight angle makes it easier to use while keeping discomfort at bay, making it an attractive alternative for gentle cleaning.

Incorporating two scraping edges, this type caters to those who struggle with excessive film on their tongues. The double-edge capability allows individuals to collect and remove more debris with each pass, which can be incredibly beneficial for stubborn cases.

  • Use a gentle yet firm motion to avoid injuring the tongue.
  • Repeat the process daily, preferably in the morning and at night.
  • Start scraping from the back to the front of your tongue.
  • Rinse your scraper after each use to maintain hygiene.
