Here is your comprehensive guide to tongue cleaning benefits.

IS TONGUE CLEANING NECESSARY?
While it has been a popular practice in Eastern traditions for thousands of years, tongue cleaning has only recently begun to garner popularity in the west.

Here's why tongue cleaning is important and how it impacts your oral health.

THE BENEFITS OF USING A TONGUE CLEANER
(1) Using a tongue cleaner gets rid of bacteria that can damage your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Getting rid of these bacteria means that they won’t be able to produce any volatile sulfur compounds, which are one of the main causes of bad breath.
(2) Your tongue will be less coated, so you’ll be able to taste your food better.
(3) Using a copper tongue scraper, specifically, is important because it’s able to help target bad bacteria while leaving good bacteria alone. That can’t be said about mouthwash!
(4) Tongue scraping stimulates the digestive tract and improves your digestive fire, meaning that you’ll be able to absorb nutrients from breakfast easier.
