Brushing your teeth is one of those things that everyone has to do every day.
But in addition to brushing their teeth and whether to brush their tongue, everyone's habits vary greatly.
Some people think that the tongue itself is moving, even if there is bacteria attached, but through chewing food or tongue activities can be removed, as long as normal daily brushing will not affect oral health, brushing the tongue will damage the mucosa of the tongue.
What's more, some people will retching when they brush their tongue, which is very uncomfortable.
However, others said they "have to brush their tongue, otherwise it feels like they didn't brush."Careful observation of the tongue is not difficult to find that the tongue has a dense distribution of "little dots" "small protrusions", which is the tongue nipple, and people are familiar with the "tongue coating" is a thin and moist layer of moss on the tongue nipple.
Oral communication with the outside world is a bacterial environment, and the tongue in daily life eating and food contact equivalent to play a "stirring" role, the oral environment is warm and humid has undoubtedly become a hotbed of bacterial reproduction.
The consistency of human saliva is not the same, and the food residue and bacterial flora deposited on the tongue are not the same.
However, with these things deposited, if not cleaned up in time, it will destroy the balance of the oral environment and cause some oral diseases.
Such as bad breath, dental caries and so on.
Therefore, cleaning the tongue can more comprehensively remove harmful microorganisms in the mouth, and keep the mouth clean and healthy.
Many people don't like brushing their tongue after trying it, mainly because it can cause nausea. This is because many people don't clean their tongues properly.
It is recommended to brush the tongue before brushing, use a special tongue cleaning tool, put the tongue out, and gently scrape the tongue from back to front.
Specifically, how should the tongue coat be brushed?
First, open the mouth wide to expose the tongue, put the tongue scraper on the base of the tongue after sticking out the tongue, and then gently drag forward to the tip of the tongue, repeat many times to achieve the cleaning effect.
When scraping the tongue, the force should be light, not too strong, to avoid damage to the tongue nipple, and also easily lead to nausea.
After completion, the tongue scraper should be thoroughly washed, shake off the water, the brush head washed into the mouthwash cup placed in a ventilated place to avoid the wet environment to breed bacteria and cause disease.
In addition, the tongue scraper is also a personal item and should not be used together to prevent the spread of disease through saliva.
