Bad breath - the bane of many people - cannot be always eliminated by the usual hygiene cleaning abroad and the treatment of dental caries. If the teeth are cured, there are no problems with digestion, and the bad breath persists, you should blame the tongue. It is often the cause of problems with the freshness of breath. Food particles, which gather on the tongue, are a great reservoir of bacteria living in the mouth. To avoid unpleasant odors the tongue should be cleaned regularly.
However, teeth and tongue brushing is not enough to maintain good oral hygiene. It is also necessary to clean periodontal pockets and interdental spaces.
Tongue is a muscular product, covered with warts, which collect numerous bacteria. These bacteria together with the food remnants create sediment, which also causes bad breath. Hence the importance of daily cleaning of the tongue. It is not sufficient to remove sediment only from the back of the tongue; remember also to clean the sides. This can be done using:
- toothbrushes - some of them have a special tongue cleaner on its head
- tongue brushes - look like a standard toothbrush, but without the hair
- tongue scraper - similar to a disposable razor
- spatula
After using there appliances, you should rinse them and left to dry. From time to time they should be also disinfected.
