Try Adding This Little Known Step to Your Daily Dental Routine
Everyone pretty much knows by now brushing and flossing after every meal and getting a
professional cleaning at least every six months has a huge impact on dental health.
But there’s another facet to personal daily dental hygiene that has a big impact on dental
health: scraping your tongue. Perhaps we don’t hear that much about it because tongue
scrapers are not well promoted. One inexpensive one can practically last a lifetime.
Studies suggest that by removing the soft plaque from the tongue, you’re removing
most of the bacteria and other debris that are the primary source of bad breath, hard
plaque (tartar) and mineral leaching acids (tooth decay).
The latest research associates the bacteria in our mouths with heart disease and other
ailments. The bottom line – for dramatically better oral hygiene and health just add cleaning
your tongue to your routine.
You can get a tongue scraper at your next St Louis dental appointment.
