šŖ„ Brushing vs. Scraping: What Really Removes Bad Breath?
Share
You brush. You floss. You rinse. But your breath still stinks?
Yeah, weāve been there too.
Hereās the truth š
Brushing your teeth isnāt enough to get rid of bad breath.
In fact, most of the bad odor in your mouth comes from a place you probably never clean:
your tongue.
š³ Wait⦠My tongue causes bad breath?
Yep.
Studies show that over 80% of bad breath comes from bacteria sitting on the back of your tongue ā not your teeth.
The surface of your tongue is like a sponge. It traps:
-
Bacteria
-
Food particles
-
Dead cells
All that gunk feeds odor-causing bacteria that release volatile sulfur compounds (a.k.a. the āyuckā smell).
š§Ŗ Brushing Your Tongue vs. Scraping It
So why not just brush your tongue, right?
Hereās the problem:
| Brushing | Scraping |
|---|---|
| Soft bristles miss buildup | Metal edge removes gunk fully |
| Doesnāt go deep | Reaches into grooves |
| Mostly just moves stuff around | Actually lifts and clears coating |
| Still leaves odor | Leaves tongue fresh and pink |
š Scraping is designed for the job. Brushing isnāt.
š” What Happens When You Start Scraping Daily?
In just a few days, people notice:
ā
Fresher breath (especially in the morning)
ā
Cleaner tongue (no more white/yellow coating)
ā
Better taste when eating
ā
More confidence when talking to people
And it only takes 10 seconds a day
š So⦠Which One Actually Works?
Scraping wins. Every. Time.
If you want to finally fix your breath ā stop brushing your tongue like itās enough.
Use a proper tongue scraper, like Glosso, and feel the difference from day one.
