California Dental Insurance – Scrape your Tongue.
One dental care habit that often goes undone is scraping your tongue after brushing your teeth. It is essential to clean your tongue daily because the coating that usually forms on the tongue can host foul-smelling bacteria. You want to brush your tongue with your toothbrush gently. Try a tongue scraper if it is too big to reach the back of your tongue comfortably. A tongue scraper is designed to apply even pressure across the surface of the tongue area, removing bacteria, food debris, and dead cells that brushing alone can not remove.
