About this deal

OraBrush bristles are designed after a soft hand brush that surgeons use to wash their hands with before surgery. With these fine bristles, no bacteria is passed!

The alternative design for a tongue scraper is more traditional and more rudimentary looking; a thin piece of machined metal, usuallystainless steel or copper, that has been formed into a “U” or “V” shape. It relies on the rounded but strong edge of the metal to scrape away the debris effectively. Some, however, may not like the feeling of stainless steel on their tongue and find a plastic tongue scraper more comfortable to use. “The stainless steel tongue scrapers are best since they can be cleaned and disinfected,” says Joseph Salim, DMD, dentist at Sutton Place Dental Associates in New York. “They also last longer than their plastic counterparts.” Dr. Salim stresses that the technique used is just as important as the kind of tongue scraper used.When bacteria reach the debris, stinking fumes are released that smell intensely and cause bad breath. By breaking through this process with OraBrush, the tongue regains its healthy pink colour and the bad breath disappears immediately. Can't I just use my toothbrush? You certainly do become used to it, but the number of bristles that scrape along the tongue surface created a sensation that felt a bit strange.

Most people have their dental care routine down pat, but many miss one important step that keeps the mouth healthy and the breath fresh: cleaning the tongue. An easy, simple way to keep the tongue clean is with the use of a tongue scraper, a tool designed to remove extra particles and reduce bacteria and food debris on the tongue. This can help reduce bad breath and tongue coatings, explains Alison Newgard, DDS, assistant professor of clinical dentistry in the Division of Restorative Dentistry at Columbia University College of Dentistry. Although removing the bacteria and food debris from the tongue will help reduce bad breath, there is no evidence that is reduces the risk of dental decay or gum disease. What is a tongue scraper?

How can I best use OraBrush?

At the end of OraBrush there is a scraper. When the bristles have wiped the residue to the surface, you can use this scraper to completely scrape the residue off the tongue. Whilst the mint flavour was still noticed after my 3 weeks of testing, I can’t really say that this will persist over a longer period. Bad breath, or halitosis, can be caused by an oral health condition like gum disease or dry mouth. In some cases, it may indicate a more serious medical condition. Some electric toothbrushes have a tongue cleaning mode encouraging you to use your normal toothbrush head rather than a scraper. You can usual a manual toothbrush too. Tobacco products have a strong smell, cause gum disease, and increase the risk of oral cancer. Food

This scraper offers a very soft cleaning experience, whilst you could feel it scraping certainly did not leave the same just scraped/cleaned feeling and taste that I hoped for. More often than not the scraper is made from a soft flexible plastic and has a design similar to a conventional manual toothbrush, but rather than a small head with lots of bristles it has a larger often rounded design with one or two plastic scrapers running horizontally to the rounded head frame. Shaped like a manual brush, there is a long plastic handle that for the most part is wrapped in a soft touch rubber/silicone, and then the head is an oval shape with the centre missing. Around the edge are a series of rubber nodules that do the scraping. The head itself covers a large area of the tongue and perhaps would require less repetitive strokes as the 3 scraping edges mimic this in many respects. It does feel a little flimsy and although it is not going to break unless excessive force is used, over time the head may become weaker than the metal alternatives. 3. Orabrush Tongue Cleaner Fresh Breath Brush With Scraper The material of the tongue scraper is also important. Plastic scrapers are often cheaper than metal ones, but they can harbor bacteria and must be replaced more frequently. Metal scrapers are usually made from stainless steel and are more durable.The alternative design for a tongue scraper is more traditional and more rudimentary looking; a thin piece of machined metal, usuallystainless steel or copper, that has been formed into a "U" or "V" shape. It relies on the rounded but strong edge of the metal to scrape away the debris effectively. A tongue scraper helps reduce the buildup of bacteria that causes bad breath. However, you have to use it consistently. If you use your tongue scraper in the morning, it won’t benefit you after several meals.
