Tongue scraping can be beneficial, but you won’t achieve your desired results if you aren’t taking a well-rounded approach to oral hygiene. Both tongue scrapers and toothbrushes can eliminate bacteria on the tongue, but most studies have found that using a tongue scraper is more effective than using a toothbrush. The scraper has a ‘mint’ flavour to the scraping edges. I could smell this when held under the nose, but noticed no taste transfer to the tongue during the time I was using it. Whether it had affect on my breath was impossible for me to tell. Shaped like a manual brush, there is a long plastic handle that for the most part is wrapped in a soft touch rubber/silicone, and then the head is an oval shape with the centre missing. Around the edge are a series of rubber nodules that do the scraping.

She adds, "They're an essential tool in frosting a cake to get smooth sides and a crisp top edge. They're also the only thing I use for portioning dough. Lastly, I'll use one to remove all buildup/debris from my work surface before cleaning."

You’ve probably already read plenty of guides that implore you to use white vinegar or baking soda to clean just about everything in your home.

Tongue scraping is a safe and effective way to keep the tongue clean if done correctly. It’s important not to press too hard on the tongue and to use gentle stroking motions. “Using a tongue scraper is more effective at reducing food debris than a toothbrush,” Dr. Salim says. “However, if you use a traditional scraper for a long time, a reduced taste sensation may ensue along with a slight balding of the tongue papillae.” The Oxo Bench Scraperis an all-around good choice at an affordable price—it's one we've used for years.
