Bad Breath and a Coated Tongue
A White Tongue Means Bad Breath
There is a really good reason why dentists recommend brushing or scraping our tongue each time we do our oral cleaning. This is because the tongue has the highest concentration of microorganisms and bacteria which can cause bad breath and influence the health of your gums and teeth.
First off, do you have bad breath? If you’re reading this, then the chance of you having this problem is very likely. In fact, if you are a living, breathing human being, the chances of you having bad breath at one time or another is pretty much 100%. Stand in front of a mirror and stick your tongue out. If you see a coating on your tongue, then you have got it bad. A coated tongue is one big reason for your bad breath.
The more bacteria there are on your tongue, the higher the likelihood that your bad breath will keep recurring. No amount of mints, gums or breath spray will be able to eliminate the problem. You have to get physical with your tongue and use a tongue scraper to remove the bacteria and the sulfurous waste products they create. And, you’ve got to be prepared – this coating will keep coming back. Remember to do it gently because you will need to clean your tongue once or twice daily – forever.
Cleaning your tongue is a lifelong process, but if you are intent on having good smelling breath, make it a part of your regular cleaning regimen. And give bad breath he double whammy by using those great new oxygenating dental products that are available from Therabreath.
