Are YOU Cleaning Your Tongue? - Priya Mistry, DDS (the TMJ doc)

Copper!?!? Good to know and the reasoning makes sense. Lovely vid and thank you for taking the time to make it. I first heard about tongue scraping a couple months ago and I'm shocked it isn't taught as common knowledge to patients.

[@theTMJdoc]

Yes it’s so good for you! And yes - I LOVE my copper tongue scraper!!!

[@Soso-ou2mz]

When should you do it? Before or after brushing?

[@theTMJdoc]

It doesn’t matter! As long as you do it!

I wish they had the tongue brushes that they had before covid . I have the last of it's kind .they used to be at Walmart I need to put mouth wash on it .

[@theTMJdoc]

The copper scrapers are better than tongue brushes in my opinion :). They remove more plaque buildup.

[@Soso-ou2mz]

What’s better .. brushing or scraping?

[@la3044]

Scraping with a normal tool is not that harsh and also don‘t put pressure on it. The brush is not easy to clean and is very harsh (even the soft ones). Just use a normal scraper (better If the edges are not that sharp). Also, brushes destroy the environment and cost a lot, using the normal brush that u use for your teeth is not clean enough (If u try to save costs and use the normal brush you use for your teeth). Metal scrapers are good

Scraping!

[@theTMJdoc]

@@la3044 I totally agree!

Am prone to have whitish coat. What is the remedy?

[@theTMJdoc]

Tongue scraping! It will remove that white coat. I’ve linked the tongue scrapers I prefer in the description box 😊
