Why should I clean my tongue?
There are hundreds of tiny lines running along the surface of your tongue where harmful bacteria hide out, feeding on food leftovers and dead cells. They have the most fun multiplying while you sleep, when there is less saliva in your mouth to wash them away.
That's why you wake up with your breath smelling so...unsexy. And with a gross white coating on your tongue.
Gently removing this coating with a tongue cleaner each morning is a basic step in assisting your body’s natural detoxification processes.
Does tongue cleaning help with bad breath?
The simplest answer is YES.
Most of the bacteria that causes bad breath live on the tongue.
So it’s a good idea to scrape any time that you’re looking to have fresh breath.
Clean your tongue every morning for optimal results.
If you’ve eaten really strong stuff like garlic or onion, a tongue scraper will reduce the impact.
You can also scrape after you exercise, when a dry mouth can cause stale breath.

Why have I never heard of tongue scraping?
The Indian Ayurvedic gurus have been scraping for the past 2000 years, and tongue scraping remains very common in India. Alongside dry brushing and warm lemon water, it is part of a daily Ayurvedic cleansing routine.
With yoga and meditation paving the way, over the past few years interest in Ayurveda has been building in the West: more and more people are seeing the benefits of Eastern cleansing techniques for preserving optimal health and preventing disease.
In reality, tongue cleaning has been popular in most ancient cultures including Egypt, China...even Napolean had a tongue cleaner. At some point in modern history, it just fell out of fashion in the West.
What is the white coating that comes of my tongue?
This is the layer of bacteria and food particles that get stuck in the crevices of your tongue. Using a tongue scraper gently removes this coating.
Cant I just brush my tongue?
Research has shown that scraping is much more effective than a toothbrush at removing tongue bacteria.
A toothbrush mostly just moves bacteria around on your tongue, instead of scraping it off.
Mouthwashes usually contain alcohol which mask breath for a short time, but then the alcohol dries out your mouth leading to worse breath. Some recent research suggests it also kills off some of the good microbes hanging out in your mouth.
