Holistic treatments are a new series of posts that give you tips on how to brighten and improve the health of your smile naturally! Today we will look at the benefits of tongue scraping.
Stick out your tongue and give it a good look in the mirror. Does the surface of your tongue have a slightly white or yellowish coating? Don’t worry, this is common. Throughout the day and even over the years, toxins, bacteria, food debris, and dead cells make their home right there in your mouth. How appetizing. Believe it or not, this can cause some major infections like gum disease and some minor but unappealing side effects like bad breath. The simplest way to prevent this is to remember to clean your tongue as you brush your teeth. Another easy alternative is to get a tongue scraper and give that tongue a nice, gentle scrape!
