In the continuing battle against Bad Breath Tongue Scrapers are all the rage it seems. Every Fresh Breath kit on the market hails them as their secret weapon. Tongue Scrapers are not a modern invention, did you know that many ancient civilisations routinely used tongue Scrapers as part of their daily cleansing routine?

Scientific research has proven that the cause of Bad Breath in 90% of cases is caused by the foul smelling compounds produced by bacteria that live below the surface of your tongue. Under certain conditions these bacteria thrive and break down proteins very rapidly and produce nasty smelling compounds known as ?Volatile Sulphur Compounds? which cause your breath to smell.

If you look at your tongue in the mirror you will see that there are many fibre-like projections on the surface called ?papillae?. You can liken the papillae to the fibres in a Shagpile carpet . Bacteria do not live on the surface layer of your tongue they live at the base layer of your tongue between the papillae where there is very little oxygen available. The bacteria flourish in acidic environments without oxygen.

When you scrape your tongue you are removing debris such as food particles, mucous and bacteria. The aim is to expose the bottom layer of the tongue where the bacteria are found. This is beneficial for 2 reasons:
1. You are removing the layer of ?junk? that has been shielding the bacteria and allowing them to multiply
2. You are preparing the surface of the tongue to receive a new compound that will dramatically reduce the amount of foul smelling compounds that will be produced in future, and hence clear up your bad breath.

That vital compound is Oxygen, after you?ve scraped your tongue you must deliver oxygen to the bacteria so that the amount of volatile sulphur compounds they produce will be drastically reduced meaning fresher breath for you! So you must rinse your mouth with an Oxygenating Mouthwash after you have scraped your tongue, but beware ?Not All Mouthwashes Are Created Equal !?

Some mouthwashes contain an ingredient that can actually make your breath smell even worse!
