This is
the most important but the most neglected Daily Dental Care
activity. Cleaning the tongue is essential because a thin
coating of food particles get deported on the surface, which
results in bacterial growth.
If not cleaned daily, it leads to bad breath.
The tongue can be cleaned by the tongue cleaner available
in the market or by the brush itself. |
