In addition to brushing and flossing your teeth daily, scraping the tongue is an important daily routine to assure optimal oral health. Using a tongue scrapper will dislodge bacteria and other impurities which cause an unhealthy coating on the surface of your tongue. Scraping the tongue will freshen your breath and improve tasting foods. Be sure to rinse your scraper under warm running water after each sweep of the tongue.
