Do you have bad breath? Most of the time we are unaware of our own breath odors, while others around us are! The tongue's surface harbors many bacteria and food particals. This causes a bad odor known as malodor as a result of the breakdown of bacteria and release of sulphur gas.

Tongue cleansing should be added to your daily oral hygiene routine. Tongue scraping is 50% more effective than brushing alone, and reduces mouth odors by 75%. The same bacteria that causes bad breath can also cause tooth decay and periodontal disease. Call us with any questions regarding tongue cleaning and breath odor.
