5 key things to remember when using a tongue scraper.A tongue scraper is like any other tool – if you don’t use it properly it won't do the job! In fact if you’re not using it correctly it may make the problem worse – think of it like trying to use a screwdriver to bang in a nail! If you’ve decided to buy yourself a tongue scraper then you’ve probably had the most awful experience of either having bad breath or thinking that you have bad breath.
Although a tongue scraper is a brilliant idea for any one who is conscious about their dental hygiene - it is a tool of must for anyone who suffers from bad breath and a white furry tongue.
First of all lets tackle the possible causes of a white furry tongue.
1 – Lack of Vitamin B12
A lack of Vitamin B12 in your body can cause fissues to form in your tongue – these are small narrow grooves that will collect food particles and add to the build up of bacteria in your mouth.
Another symptom of a lack of vitamin B12 is the formation of the white creamy substance on your tongue called Candida. This is yeast, which is normally found in the digestive tract, but if the production of the yeast gets excessive then it can form on the tongue and even on the gums and sides of your mouth.2 – Excessive consumption of alcohol, tobacco and sugary foods.
Yes we’ve all been there – and what’s wrong with a bottle of beer, and cigarette and a doughnut once in a while? Well nothing if it is once in a while… A balance of essential vitamins and minerals is essential for well being in us all. This should include a balanced diet, which includes lots of fruit and vegetables.Alcohol is a dehydrant and so will dry out your mouth, if your mouth is not producing a sufficient amount of saliva it can not neutralise the acid in your mouth which can cause bad breath and tooth decay. The yeast infection Candida is a lover of sweet sugary foods. It breeds and thrives on the sugar contained within these foods. So cut back on the sugary cakes and sweets. To keep it at bay.
3- Antibiotics can be a cause of having a white furry tongue.
If you have had to take a dose of antibiotics or prescribed tablets, this may cause a layer of white to form over you’re tongue. IT should start clear once you’ve stopped taking them.
Ok, now to the tools and tactics of the tongue scraping – how to use you tongue scraper.
Firstly you may experience intense gagging when first using your tongue scrape – this is a normal body reflex that you will overcome in time.
5 key ways to get the most out of your tongue scraper
- Wash it is boiling water, every time, before and after you use it. Bacteria can live outside your body – washing the scraper in hot water should kill most of these bacteria and ensure that you’re not putting them back on your tongue the next time you use the scraper.
- Put the scraper as far back on your tongue as you can - don’t just scrape the front of your tongue as the most intense build up of bacteria will be at the back.
- Gently push the scraper down on your tongue but DON’T pull straight forward – pull the scraper forward and off to the side of your tongue – otherwise you are dragging the bacteria from back to front and not clearing it.
- Don’t just scrape once. To clear the bacteria you need to scrape a few times. Look in the mirror when scraping and ensure that your tongue looks pink before you finish.
- Have a glass of cold water and swill – Scraping your tongue will leave your mouth felling dry and you have taken some of the saliva and moisture away. Have a cool glass of water and swish it around you mouth.
Using this routine should help you get the most out of your tongue scraper and help to fight a white furry tongue and bad breath.
