Scraping the tongue can reduce bad breath.

Have you ever wondered? Why brush your teeth but still have bad breath?

One of the main reasons is bacterial stains and food debris on the tongue.

Then why scrape the tongue?

✅ Remove the accumulated bacteria that cause bad breath.

✅ Reduce white stains on the tongue. Make the tongue cleaner.

✅ helps to taste food better.

💡 How to scrape the right tongue.

🔹 Use a dedicated tongue grater (or the back of a toothbrush with a tongue grater).

🔹 Scrape from the cone of the tongue to the face of the tongue gently, but all over.

🔹 Do it regularly every morning and before bed.

Try it and know that bad breath actually decreases!

Anyone with good oral care can share it! 💬👇

... Read moreคำถามยอดฮิตเลยคือ “ขูดลิ้นก่อนหรือหลังแปรงฟัน?” จากที่เราลองทำมาสักพัก (เพราะแปรงฟันอย่างเดียวไม่พอจริง ๆ) คำตอบที่ทำตามได้ง่ายและเห็นผลคือ “ทำได้ทั้งสองแบบ แต่ส่วนใหญ่จะแนะนำให้ขูดลิ้นหลังแปรงฟัน” เพราะหลังแปรงฟันช่องปากสะอาดขึ้น ฟองยาสีฟันช่วยพาคราบออก และเราจะรู้สึกจบรูทีนแล้วปากสะอาดสดชื่นสุด ๆ แต่ถ้าคุณเป็นคนคลื่นไส้/สำรอกง่ายตอนขูดลิ้น การขูดลิ้น “ก่อนแปรงฟัน” ก็เวิร์กเหมือนกัน ข้อดีคือขูดเสร็จแล้วค่อยแปรงฟันตาม จะช่วยล้างคราบและกลิ่นที่ถูกขูดออกมาอีกที ทำให้รู้สึกสะอาดและลดความกังวลว่าคราบจะกระจายอยู่ในปาก สรุปแบบเลือกตามไลฟ์สไตล์ - อยากให้จบทีเดียว สะอาดสุดท้าย: ขูดลิ้น “หลังแปรงฟัน” - คลื่นไส้ง่ายหรืออยากล้างซ้ำอีกรอบ: ขูดลิ้น “ก่อนแปรงฟัน” แล้วแปรงฟันปิดท้าย วิธีขูดลิ้นให้ลดกลิ่นปากจริง (ทำตามนี้แล้วต่างชัด) 1) ใช้ที่ขูดลิ้นโดยเฉพาะ หรือหลังแปรงที่มีที่ขูดลิ้น 2) แลบลิ้นออกพอประมาณ วางที่ขูด “บริเวณกลางลิ้นค่อนไปทางโคน” (ไม่ต้องลึกมาก) 3) ขูดจากโคนมาปลายลิ้นแบบเบา ๆ 2–5 ครั้ง พอให้ทั่ว ไม่ต้องถูแรง เพราะลิ้นระคายเคืองได้ 4) ล้างที่ขูดทุกครั้งที่ลากผ่าน เพื่อไม่เอาคราบกลับไปป้ายซ้ำ 5) บ้วนปากให้สะอาด และดื่มน้ำตามนิดหน่อย ทิปส์เล็ก ๆ ที่ช่วยให้ทำได้ต่อเนื่อง - ทำตอนเช้าและก่อนนอน (แค่วันละ 1–2 ครั้งพอ) - ถ้ามีคราบขาวหนามาก อย่าฝืนขูดแรง ให้ค่อย ๆ ทำทุกวันแล้วจะบางลงเอง - ถ้าขูดแล้วมีเลือด/เจ็บแสบ แปลว่ากดแรงไป ควรพักและลดแรง สุดท้าย ถ้าขูดลิ้นแล้วกลิ่นปากยังไม่ดีขึ้น อาจไม่ได้มาจากลิ้นอย่างเดียว ลองเช็กเรื่องหินปูน ฟันผุ เหงือกอักเสบ หรือคอแห้งจากดื่มน้ำน้อยด้วย เราเพิ่มการดื่มน้ำ + ใช้ไหมขัดฟันควบคู่กัน กลิ่นปากดีขึ้นแบบรู้สึกได้เลย

A person holds a metal tongue scraper and a plastic tongue scraper, asking 'which is better?' to compare the two types.
A person demonstrates using a metal tongue scraper, starting at the top of the tongue, highlighting that metal doesn't breed bacteria.

So which is better, a metal tongue scraper or a plastic one? The plastic tends to breed bacteria, while the stainless steel doesn’t and it’s better for the environment. You won’t have to replace the stainless steel one (just do measures of cleaning it every so often) whereas with the plastic one
