What is tongue cleaner?

-Can a tongue scraper damage your tongue?

-Stick your tongue out and use light pressure to run the scraper across the entire surface of your tongue once or twice, starting all the way at the back of the tongue and scraping toward the front. It shouldn't hurt or do any damage to the tongue – if it does, use less pressure.

-Do dentists recommend tongue scrapers?

-Although there's no harm in trying a tongue scraper to treat bad breath, it's just as important to practice good dental hygiene overall: Brush your teeth and tongue at least twice a day, as soon as possible after you eat
