🪄 Brushing vs. Scraping: What Really Removes Bad Breath?

🪄 Brushing vs. Scraping: What Really Removes Bad Breath?

You brush. You floss. You rinse. But your breath still stinks?
Yeah, we’ve been there too.

Here’s the truth šŸ‘‰
Brushing your teeth isn’t 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.

😳 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 — 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 ā€œyuckā€ smell).

🧪 Brushing Your Tongue vs. Scraping It

So why not just brush your tongue, right?

Here’s the problem:

Brushing Scraping
Soft bristles miss buildup Metal edge removes gunk fully
Doesn’t go deep Reaches into grooves
Mostly just moves stuff around Actually lifts and clears coating
Still leaves odor Leaves tongue fresh and pink

šŸ“Œ Scraping is designed for the job. Brushing isn’t.

šŸ’” What Happens When You Start Scraping Daily?

In just a few days, people notice:

āœ… Fresher breath (especially in the morning)
āœ… Cleaner tongue (no more white/yellow coating)
āœ… Better taste when eating
āœ… More confidence when talking to people

And it only takes 10 seconds a day

šŸ‘Š So… Which One Actually Works?

Scraping wins. Every. Time.
If you want to finally fix your breath — stop brushing your tongue like it’s enough.

Use a proper tongue scraper, like Glosso, and feel the difference from day one.
