Tips for using a tongue scraper mainly include the following aspects:
Preparation before use: Before using the tongue scraper, make sure that the tongue is extended so that the tongue scraper can clean the tongue surface farther away. Drag the tongue scraper forward from the root of the tongue to the tip of the tongue, and then repeat this action to ensure a more thorough cleaning effect.
Correct method of use: Place the tongue scraper on the tongue surface, starting from the back 1/3 of the tongue surface, and gently scrape from the back to the front. Do not use force, and repeat the scraping to achieve better results. After each use of the tongue scraper, be sure to thoroughly clean and try to dry the water, then put the tongue scraper head up into the mouthwash cup, or place it in a ventilated and sunny place to let it dry naturally and achieve a sterilization effect.
Force control: When using a tongue scraper, the force must be light, and avoid using hard objects to scrape the tongue coating to avoid damage to the tongue. Appropriate pressure is enough, aiming to remove sticky substances on the surface of the tongue.
Frequency of use: It is recommended to use a tongue scraper before brushing your teeth, which can more effectively maintain oral health. When you just wake up in the morning, use the tongue scraper directly to remove the white harmful substances on the surface of the tongue for better results.
Cleaning and maintenance: After each use of the tongue scraper, clean it thoroughly and shake off as much water as possible, then put the tongue scraper head up in a mouthwash cup, or place it in a ventilated and sunny place to dry it naturally and achieve a sterilization effect. In addition, tongue scrapers cannot be shared to avoid cross-infection of diseases.
