What's up with the white tongue? Why do I have bad breath? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, read on. Yes, as a dental hygienist my patients often complain about having bad breath. Well, did you know that bad breath is caused by bacteria on your tongue?

Yes, this white thing on your tongue is plaque and bacteria from your saliva and the foods you eat! In normal circumstances, you are supposed to brush or scrape your tongue to remove the bacteria that has accumulated on it throughout the day.

It is good practice to brush or scrape your tongue twice a day. However, my patients complain that brushing their tongue makes them gag and it gives them a foul taste after when they eat. Well, guess what?

We have that covered for you. Our Buccal Water Irrigator has a tip especially designed to remove and flush out the bacteria on your tongue.

Here are the 3 benefits of using a tongue cleaner:

• It will improve your sense of taste; removing the bacteria from your tongue will allow your taste buds to be clearer and will allow you to savor the different flavors in your food.
• It will improve the appearance of your tongue: We all know that a white tongue is not very attractive. That white coat can be easily removed with our Buccal oral irrigator.
• It will reduce bad breath: Removing the odor causing bacteria from your tongue will reduce the chances of you having halitosis (bad breath).
