Tongue cleaning

Do you brush your teeth every day?

Of course you will say.

Do you also clean your tongue every day?

If yes, if no, then you should know the following:

The tongue surface with its countless micro-niches, especially in the rear area, offers ideal living conditions for bacteria and microorganisms. This makes it the main cause of bad breath, i.e. bad breath.

What is particularly common, however, is that once the bacteria have settled properly in the tongue niches, they regularly start recolonizing their teeth from there after brushing their teeth. The "bacterial base bearing tongue" thus destroys even the most thorough cleaning efforts.

It is therefore important to deprive the bacteria of this base camp by subjecting the tongue to a thorough cleaning every day in addition to the natural brushing of teeth.

For cleaning the tongue there are special tongue cleaners.

These are available where you buy the toothbrush.

When applying, it is important to stroke with sufficient pressure on the surface of the tongue from as far back as possible over the tongue to the tip of the tongue. For control: When used correctly, some viscous saliva should accumulate on the tongue cleaner.

As additional aids, mouthwash solutions and, if necessary, a special antibacterial toothpaste may also be helpful. This small tool used regularly can contribute significantly to your oral health.
