Did you know that when we are sleeping our digestive system remains awake? If your answer is no, then here is an interesting fact: Our digestive system is removing toxins from our body and depositing them onto the surface of our tongue. If we don't remove these toxins they get reabsorbed into the body causing other problems such as weakened immune system and respiratory problems.
Listed below are some reasons why you should make tongue scraping part of your daily oral health routine:
- Improves breath: Removing bacteria, food debris, fungi and dead cells from the tongue reduces the odor from your mouth. To get the best results, you will need a tongue scraper, a toothbrush doesn't cut it.
- Improves taste: Removing the build-up will expose your taste buds. This will lead to better enjoyment of the flavors of your food.
- Improves dental health: Bacteria that is removed from the tongue are responsible for things like periodontal problems, plaque, build-up, tooth decay, and many others.
Get to know your tongue!
Did you know your tongue us a mirror reflection of your internal organs? By scraping your tongue you are stimulating and massaging those corresponding organs!
