SHOULD I BE USING A TONGUE SCRAPER?

Tongue scrapers have yet to find their way into a majority of bathrooms, but their newly discovered benefits may see that change within the next few years. Once relegated to natural healthcare stores, tongue scrapers have recently found their way into the dental care isles of many pharmacies – and for good reason. Evidence shows that tongue scrapers, when added to your daily oral care routine, can help combat bad breath and keep the mouth healthier.

Tongue scrapers remove 30% more bacteria and food particles from your tongue than brushing alone. By removing these common causes of bad breath, tongue scrapers have proven effective even in treating more advanced forms of halitosis. Adding a tongue scraper alone may not eliminate bad breath, but it can be a powerful tool in the fight against it.

Barrie dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick offers a range of professional bad breath treatments, but these require home care to be fully effective. If you are struggling with bad breath, adding a tongue scraper to your routine of brushing and flossing may be an ideal solution.
