Stop masking bad breath and start removing the cause.Most people try to clean their tongue with a standard toothbrush, but toothbrushes are designed for the smooth surfaces of teeth—not the irregular, "carpet-like" surface of the tongue. Dr. Wieder’s Original Tung-Brush is specifically engineered to reach deep into the microscopic crevices of the tongue's surface to dislodge the bacteria and food debris that cause 90% of bad breath (halitosis).
Why a Tung-Brush is better than a toothbrush
Standard toothbrush bristles are too long and soft to effectively clean the tongue. They often skip over the surface or, worse, trigger a gag reflex. The Tung-Brush features short, firm bristles designed to "break through" the sticky tongue plaque (biofilm) that a regular brush simply can't move. Its large, circular head allows for a quick, efficient clean that covers the entire tongue surface in just a few strokes.
Key Benefits:
- Short, Firm Bristles: Specifically designed to penetrate the "peaks and valleys" of the tongue for a deeper clean.
- Large Circular Head: Covers more surface area than a toothbrush, reducing the time needed for your morning routine.
- Low Profile Design: The flat, wide head is engineered to minimize the gag reflex, allowing you to reach further back towards the base of the tongue.
- Ergonomic Handle: Provides a secure grip for the firm pressure required to effectively "scrub" away bacteria.
- Proven Results: Designed by a dentist to be the most effective tool for long-term fresh breath.
Ideal For:
- Chronic Bad Breath (Halitosis): Effectively removes the volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) that cause mouth odors.
- Coated Tongue: Breaks down the white or yellowish coating that can build up on the tongue surface.
- Complete Oral Hygiene: The essential "second step" after brushing your teeth.
How to Use a Tongue Cleaner:
- Apply Gel: For best results, use with Tung-Gel (specifically formulated to neutralize tongue bacteria).
- Extend Tongue: Reach as far back as comfortable.
- Brush: Use a firm, circular motion to scrub the surface of the tongue.
- Rinse: Spit out the excess and rinse the brush under warm water.
- Replace: Just like a toothbrush, replace your Tung-Brush every 3 months for maximum hygiene.
