Proper
oral hygiene significantly impacts a child’s health, social and physical
development. Don’t miss this critical step!
Here’s
Why:
- Kids
have been negatively impacted by our culture, requiring parents to rethink ways
to insure the mental and physical well being of their children.
- This strategy should include
improving social skills, having a healthy diet and exercise, ensuring routine
health care visits and teaching them proper personal and oral hygiene.
- Regarding oral hygiene, research
has proven that not only does 90% of bad breath come from the tongue, but an
unhealthy tongue has been directly linked to serious health issues as well as
increasing vulnerability to viral diseases.
- Tongue brushing is now
recognized as an essential step in one’s daily oral hygiene regimen to prevent
bad breath and insure good health.
- Therefore, proper oral
hygiene IS NOW a 3-step process: brush-floss-brush…your tongue!

the first and only tongue cleaning system of its kind and is the most effective
and comfortable tongue cleaning system on the market today. Your

What We
Know About Tongue Cleaning
- It is clear that brushing your teeth and
flossing is of vital importance to good oral care.
- Based on dental research,
EQUALLY IMPORTANT is proper tongue cleaning.
- Toothbrushes should NOT be used
on the tongue! Why? They are ineffective due to the high/narrow profile which
causes gagging and soft bristles that cannot penetrate the nooks and crannies
where bacteria hide. In addition, any bacteria landing on the toothbrush from
the tongue will be seeded into the gums.
- Many dental professionals
recommend children not use tongue scrapers due to potential damage to the
tongue caused by using a hard plastic device. They also are messy and
uncomfortable to use. Therefore, adults and kids shy away from routine use.
- In addition, scrapers in general
are inefficient as they cannot penetrate the nooks and crannies where harmful
bacteria hide.
Tips To Teach Your Kids
- Dirty tongues cause bad breath
and can discourage friendships.
- Make it a habit. Teach them to
start their day off right, by brushing their tongue when they brush and floss
their teeth
- Clean tongues can keep you from
getting sick and getting cavities (which could mean extra trips to the
dentist!)
- Encourage them to look at their
tongue before and after they clean it so they can see the difference.
- Go slow, and gently brush. Their
tongue will get used to it.
- To stick their tongue out as far as possible,
take a deep breath and quickly brush the back of the tongue. The gag reflex is
normal but will begin to go away with regular use.
- To enjoy and be aware of the
clean fresh feeling they get after brushing their tongue…your family and
friends will too!
