Copper Tongue scraper

$13.00 (incl. GST)

A happy oral microbiome starts here.

A microbiome is the inner ecosystem of microorganisms that can either support or sabotage our health. The oral microbiome is under constant assault because a wide range of factors in daily life can disrupt the microbiome’s happy harmony. This could lead to shifts that promote more pathogenic species to dominate, hurting health and well-being.

Using a tongue scraper offers several benefits for oral hygiene, including improved breath freshness, reduced bacteria buildup, and enhanced taste perception. It also contributes to better overall oral health by preventing plaque and tartar accumulation, potentially reducing the risk of gum disease.

While tongue scraping is a valuable addition to oral care routines, it should complement regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

A copper tongue scraper is often considered superior to other materials for several reasons:

  1. Antibacterial Properties: Copper has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It can help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on the tongue’s surface, contributing to improved oral hygiene.
  2. Durability: Copper is a durable material that can withstand regular use. Unlike plastic or other materials, it is less likely to break or wear down over time.
  3. Environmental Benefits: Copper is a recyclable material, making it a more eco-friendly choice compared to plastic tongue scrapers.
  4. Enhanced Effectiveness: The natural smoothness of copper allows for effective scraping without causing discomfort or irritation to the tongue.
  5. Non-Porous Surface: Copper has a non-porous surface that is less likely to harbour bacteria or other contaminants, making it easier to clean and maintain.
  6. Traditional Wisdom: Copper tongue scrapers have been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, reflecting a long history of effectiveness and cultural acceptance.

While copper tongue scrapers offer these benefits, using them properly and cleaning them regularly is essential to maximize their effectiveness and maintain oral health. Individuals with specific allergies or sensitivities to metals should consult with a healthcare professional before using a copper tongue scraper.

Description

Using a tongue scraper can offer several benefits for oral hygiene and overall well-being:

  1. Improved Oral Hygiene: A tongue scraper helps remove bacteria, food particles, and dead cells from the tongue’s surface. This can lead to fresher breath and a cleaner mouth.
  2. Reduced Bad Breath (Halitosis): Since bacteria on the tongue cause a significant portion of bad breath, regular scraping can help reduce unpleasant odors.
  3. Enhanced Taste Perception: A clean tongue allows taste buds to function more effectively, potentially producing a heightened sense of taste.
  4. Prevention of Plaque and Tartar Buildup: By removing bacteria from the tongue’s surface, a scraper may improve oral health and help prevent issues like plaque buildup and cavities.
  5. Improved Digestion: Some practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine believe that tongue scraping can stimulate the digestive system by removing toxins from the mouth before they’re ingested.
  6. Promotion of General Well-being: A clean mouth can contribute to overall well-being and comfort.
  7. Reduced Risk of Gum Disease: By removing bacteria from the tongue, you may reduce the risk of bacterial transference from the tongue to the gums, which can contribute to gum disease.
  8. Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: A clean tongue can look healthier and more aesthetically pleasing.

Scrape with care!

It’s important to note that while tongue scraping can be a beneficial addition to oral hygiene routines, it should not replace other essential practices like regular brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist for check-ups and cleanings.

Remember to gently touch when scraping your tongue to avoid irritation or damage. If you experience any discomfort or irritation it’s advisable to consult with a dental professional.
