Overview
I must admit, having a mouth odour or sitting beside someone that has it can be a real joy killer. No matter how many times you brush a day or how many mints you eat to ward off the odour, sometimes the bad odour still persists, and it’s sometimes impossible to get rid of.
Sometimes these bad odours are caused when you don’t properly clean your tongue after brushing.
According to DURAL DENTAL, Bad odour is mostly caused from the bacteria and dead cells that settle on your tongue from the foods you eat. When the bacteria thrives due to not having the appropriate equipment to remove bacteria off your tongue it results in bad breath.
Many people use a soft or medium bristle toothbrush to clean their tongue after brushing their teeth. This can stop the bad breath for a little while and it can reduce the shelf- life of your toothbrush because the bristles may damage faster.
Instead use a tongue scraper because it scrapes off the germs causing the bad breath from your tongue, giving you a long-lasting fresh breath.
A tongue scraper is a special dental equipment, made of plastic that can be effective in keeping your tongue clean, fresh from bacteria and keep that bad breath two miles from your mouth.
