Stop Bad Breath at the Source: The Benefits of Tongue Cleaning

When it comes to oral hygiene, brushing and flossing often get all the attention. But did you know that 90% of bad breath originates from bacteria on your tongue? That’s right—your toothbrush can’t reach everything. If you’re not cleaning your tongue, you’re leaving behind odor-causing bacteria, toxins, and debris that affect both your breath and your overall oral health.

Enter the Dentemp® Copper Clean Tongue Cleaner — a simple, effective tool designed to target bad breath at its source, not just cover it up.

Why Tongue Cleaning Matters

Your tongue is a breeding ground for bacteria. Its textured surface traps food particles, dead cells, and harmful microbes that lead to:

  • Chronic bad breath (halitosis)
  • Plaque buildup
  • Tooth decay
  • Compromised taste perception
  • Poor gum health

Brushing your teeth alone won’t remove these contaminants. Tongue scraping offers a mechanical method to clear this biofilm, reducing odor and promoting a healthier mouth.

What Makes the Copper Clean Tongue Cleaner Different?

The Dentemp® Copper Clean Tongue Cleaner is engineered to go beyond a standard plastic scraper or toothbrush.

Six Total Cleaning Edges

The tool is designed with six precision cleaning edges that work in a two-step process:

  • Step 1: Break Up Bacteria
  • Three harder edges (including smooth, serrated, and straight shapes) dislodge built-up particles and break apart stubborn residue.
  • Step 2: Sweep It All Away
  • A second set of three soft edges—including a final copper-infused edge—gently sweeps the bacteria and debris off the tongue, leaving your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

Naturally Antibacterial Copper

Copper has been used for centuries for its antimicrobial properties. It helps fight the very bacteria that cause bad breath, making it a natural, chemical-free solution for fresher breath.

Designed for Comfort

  • A gentle curve and low-profile head help reduce gagging—especially important for first-time tongue cleaners.
  • The ribbed, soft-grip handle provides control in both wet and dry conditions, making it easy to use for everyone, from teens to older adults.
