Tongue scraping and its importance
Posted on: 01/Jul/2020 10:34:50 AM
Just like our teeth, tongue is also very important for us.
For our oral hygiene to be good, it is necessary to brush as well as gloss every day. It is believed that many follow these without fail every day but they fail to do scraping of their tongues. A tool made of metal or plastic is used to remove the bacteria that have been built up, dead cells, etc from the tongue surface and this is known as tongue scraping.
The food we consume leads to a white layer on the tongue surface and in this, the bacteria thrive. By means of scraping, we could remove the white layer present on the tongue surface and the tongue could get back its original pinkish color.
Various reasons why scraping of tongue is important are
For keeping it clean just like our teeth: It is known that by means of our tongue we are able to speak, chew, etc. Hence, it is essential that we must maintain our tongue clean just like our teeth.
For increasing our sense of taste: This is very important and by scrapping the tongue twice daily we would be able to increase our sense of taste.
For reducing stale odour: The bacteria that are responsible for the bad smell in our mouth get removed when we scrape our tongue using a tongue scraper.
For preventing cavities and gum diseases: Many of us get affected by cavities and gum diseases etc. By regular scraping of the tongue, it is possible to avoid getting these issues. Overall oral hygiene would be good.
