Using a tongue cleaner is a simple process to improve oral hygiene and remove bacteria and debris. Here's how to do it:
-
Start at the back: Gently place the tongue scraper as far back on your tongue as is comfortable. Avoid triggering your gag reflex.
-
Scrape forward: Apply gentle pressure and pull the scraper forward, towards the front of your tongue.
-
Rinse the scraper: After each scrape, rinse the tongue cleaner under running water to remove any debris.
-
Repeat: Repeat the scraping motion multiple times, overlapping each pass slightly, to cover the entire surface of your tongue. Work at different angles to ensure thorough cleaning.
-
Rinse your mouth: After you've finished scraping, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water or mouthwash to remove any remaining debris.
In summary, gently scrape from the back to the front of your tongue, rinse the scraper after each pass, and repeat until your tongue feels clean. Rinse your mouth afterward.
