 Hey, it's Angie at SCU, and here are three benefits to tongue scraping. Let's get started. It helps remove bacteria and debris that accumulates on the tongue, reducing the risk of dental issues such as cavities and gum disease. Now, this may seem obvious, but it significantly reduces bad breath by removing the odor-causing bacteria on the tongue surface. Tongue scraping supports digestion by reducing the harmful bacteria in the mouth, which in turn helps with well-being, overall health and mental clarity. There are many types of scrapers to choose from to meet your hygiene needs. Simply adding tongue scraping at the end of your brushing routine twice a day can help keep bacteria and buildup at bay.
