  1. Benefits of Cleaning Your Tongue

  2. Cleaning Your Tongue • Tongue cleaning is essential for our oral health as much as brushing one's teeth. • Academic studies indicate that cleaning your tongue regularly can reduce unwanted mouth bacteria that can lead to plaque buildup, bad breath, a coated tongue  and other oral health conditions. • Some research suggests that tongue scrapers are the most effective tool to use. However, you can also use toothbrushes and mouthwashes to help clean your tongue. What are the benefits of cleaning your tongue?

  3. Here are the List of Benefits of Cleaning Your Tongue:

  4. Reduces Bacteria on the Tongue • Academic studies have found that tongue cleaning reduced bacteria on the tongue but that levels only stayed low if the tongue cleaning occurred regularly which means that for it to be effective it has to be a habit and not just a one time thing.

  5. Helps Keep Your Breath Fresh • The American Dental Association concludes that cleaning your tongue can contribute to a fresher-feeling mouth that a lot of people enjoy. • Having a fresh breath can help you gain confidence in your daily interactions with other people. • It can help you talk with ease with your loved ones and with your friends.

  6. Helps Reduce Plaque • Plaque is defined as a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. Bacteria in plaque produce acids after you drink or eat. • These acids can destroy your tooth enamel and cause cavities and other dental problems. • Academic studies indicate that regular tongue cleaning by either a toothbrush or scraper can help reduce plaque levels.

  7. Reduces Sulfur Compounds that Cause Bad Breath • As per Doctoroz.com, Bad breath is caused by the excretion of the anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that do not need oxygen to survive) that live within your mouth. • These anaerobic bacteria excrete sulfur compounds. These sulfur compounds ignite the bad-breath brushfire. Using a tongue scraper can help reduce the volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. • Based on academic study in the Journal of Periodontology, a tongue scraper removed 75 percent of these compounds and a toothbrush removed 45 percent of them.
