Your Tongue & Keeping it Clean


Did you know the tongue is made up of 8 muscles? 


The top surface is mucous membrane lined with papillae which are responsible for our taste and texture of food. It is important to keep your tongue clean removing bacteria and food particles.

A Tongue Scraper is an effective way to achieve cleanliness of the tongue. When using a tongue scraper you start at the back of the tongue and pull the scraper forward. This removes excess plaque and odor causing bacteria.

The next time you're in our Kalamazoo office, ask us how this could benefit you!
