When you brush your teeth in the morning, do you remember to brush your tongue?
Bacteria and debris can accumulate on the tongue’s surface Brushing our teeth is a fundamental part of all our daily routines, but too many people skip the tongue. Dr Rhona Eskander, dentist at Dental Phobia, explained that keeping our tongue fresh is vital for a number of reasons. ‘The tongue’s surface is covered with tiny crevices and taste buds where bacteria and food particles can accumulate,’ Dr Eskander explained.
‘So, incorporating tongue brushing into your oral care routine not only promotes better breath but also contributes to overall oral health and a more enjoyable eating experience.’ Not cleaning your tongue can also mean bacteria thrives, your tongue develops a ‘coated’ appearance, and there’s an increased risk of dental plaque, gum disease, oral infections and cavities. It’s time to invest in a tongue scraper.
