Brushing your teeth is not the only thing you need to do to keep your mouth clean. The Doctors want to know when was the last time you scrape your tongue?
Dermatologist Dr. Sonia Batra explains tongue scraping is common around the world and she has been doing it since she was just 5 years old. She explains the practice involves scrapping off debris from your tongue after you have brushed. It can help to remove food particles, dead skin cells, and may also remove yeast from the mouth.
She says to start in the back of the mouth (making sure to not go so far back that you gag) and then pull the scraper forward. If you are in the bathroom, you can rinse the debris off and then scrape again for a few rounds.
You will know you're done cleaning when your tongue is back to its usual red/pink color and any coating has been removed.
To keep your tongue scraper clean, allow it to air dry and once a week clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Dr. Batra recommends using a stainless steel option and The Doctors love these 3 highly rated tongue scrapers.
