Scrubbing your Tongue in the City of Leeds

585804_blogMany people generally know how to clean their teeth and gums correctly in the city of Leeds; you get the right products and learn how to use them. Doing this will remove bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth and greatly reduce the opportunity of plaque getting a grip. What you might not though is that you should also clean your tongue as well. The tongue harbours more bacteria than any other part of the mouth and however much you clean your teeth and gums, the bacteria from the tongue will simply spread again as soon as you have brushed. Many modern hand held brushes have a tongue scrubber on the underside and you should use this every time you brush, especially if you are a smoker. However you need to be gentle when doing this otherwise you can cause damage. You can also use the brush to do this- electric brushes are extremely good for this, but again, go easy- the tongue is very delicate. You don’t necessarily have to do this each day, but just keep an eye out each night for discolouration on the tongue’s surface and once you have cleaned it then rinse with a mouthwash for a total cleanse of your mouth.
