IQ Tongue cleaner
The top surface of the tongue can be cleaned using a tongue cleaner or a toothbrush. However, toothbrushes are not effective for this purpose because they are designed for brushing the teeth, which have a solid structure unlike the spongy tissue of the tongue. The ergonomic IQ Tongue cleaner is shaped in accordance with the anatomy of the tongue, and is optimized to lift and trap the plaque coating and effectively cleans the surface of the tongue. The IQ Tongue cleaner also cleans the tongue after drinking red wine. Tip: Give special attention to rear surface from the tongue!
Importance of IQ tongue cleaning
Fresh breath
Tongue cleaning is meant to remove some of the millions of bacteria (up to 500 different types), decaying food debris, fungi (such as Candida), and dead cells, from the surface of the rear of the tongue. Tongue cleaning is generally viewed as the solution for most cases of halitosis, or bad breath. Scientific studies have shown tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 80 to 90 percent of all cases of bad breath. Research shows that only the rest of about 5-20% of cases originate in the stomach, from the tonsils, from decaying food stuck between the teeth, gum disease, tooth decay, or plaque accumulated on the teeth. Clinical studies have shown that using tongue cleaners on a daily basis has a significant effect on eliminating anaerobic bacteria and decreasing oral malodor.
Better oral hygiene
Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 80 to 90 percent of all cases of bad breath. These microorganisms colonize and multiply on the protein-rich areas of the tongue, and eventually, through the saliva, reach all areas of the mouth including the teeth and gums. These bacteria are considerable contributors to periodontal problems, plaque on the teeth, tooth decay, gum infections, gum recession and even tooth loss.
