should I use a tongue scraper before or after brushing my teeth?
Dentists usually recommend using a tongue scraper before brushing. This clears away bacteria and debris so your toothpaste and brushing work on a cleaner surface.
Alternatively, you can use it to scrape your tongue after brushing, provided you follow it up with an effective mouth rinse like Davids Hydroxi™ fresh breath mouthwash to rinse away the loosened buildup.
what is the benefit of tongue scraping?
The tongue’s surface contains tiny papillae that trap food particles, dead cells, and bacteria. Over time, this builds up into a whitish or yellow coating, which studies have identified as the primary cause of bad breath in otherwise healthy individuals.
Regular use of a stainless steel tongue scraper clears this away, freshening breath and is a technique recognized for supporting better overall oral health.
how often should I use the tongue scraper?
For optimal results, use your stainless steel tongue scraper once or twice a day, typically in the morning and at night. Consistent use helps keep your breath fresh and your tongue healthy-looking. You might even notice a better sense of taste since it removes the buildup coating your taste buds.
is using a metal tongue scraper safe?
Yes. Davids professional scraper features a smooth, rounded edge that’s gentle on your tongue yet still highly effective at removing buildup. Its medical-grade steel ensures durability, hygiene, and a luxury feel that plastic scrapers can’t match.
how do I clean my tongue scraper?
Rinse your scraper thoroughly with warm water after each use. For a deeper clean, wash with mild soap and water, then dry it completely to prevent spotting.
Because it’s stainless steel, this luxury tongue scraper will remain hygienic for years with simple care.
