The Importance Of Brushing Your Tongue
Have you ever wondered what that white film on your tongue is? It gets thicker the farther back you look. Sometimes it looks grayish, or brownish. Perhaps you don’t give much thought to it, but you should. It’s putrefying, or rot-causing, bacteria eating leftover food particles in your tongue. Gross, huh? That’s not all. As it metabolizes the food particles it releases foul-smelling gases that we call bad breath. Most people pay conscientious attention to their teeth, but overlook their tongue. Brushing your teeth eliminates plaque, but a few hours afterward your tongue transfers more sugar, debris, and rot-causing bacteria that produce plaque back onto your teeth. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI dentist, Dr. James Stewart discusses the importance of brushing your tongue.
