How do you clean your tongue? Chances are you may be doing it wrong. Clinical research and scientific studies published in the National Institutes of Health have proven that using a tongue scraper removes 75% of VSCs (volatile sulfur compounds AKA the bacteria that leads to chronic bad breath and can also lead to oral infections) whereas using a toothbrush to clean the tongue only removes 45% of VSCs. The oral biome is the second most diverse and populated microbiota after the gut and the two are inextricably linked. Microscopic food debris, bacteria, and other microbes that get stuck into the grooves of the tongue are not effectively removed with a toothbrush - in fact they are just spread around the tongue. Think of your tongue like a carpet, you don’t use a brush to clean it - same with your tongue. A copper tongue scraper digs in and pushes up the bacteria that gets stuck there on a daily basis. Moreover Cooper ensures the survival of good bacteria. And last but not least, most toothbrushes are made of plastic, meaning using the toothbrush to clean the tongue spreads microplastics all over the oral biome which eventually can make their way to the gut. 👅 #tiktokspringsale #tiktokshop #oralhealth
