Tongue Scraping

for Bad Breath

Daily tongue scraping to remove the bacterial biofilm on the tongue surface which is the primary source of bad breath.

How it works

The tongue dorsum harbours the majority of oral bacteria that produce volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs). Mechanical removal directly reduces VSC production.

What to watch for

Use a dedicated tongue scraper. Clean the whole tongue from back to front. Daily practice is essential.
