Research by scientists shows the mouth may house bacteria which causes gut inflammation. The majority of the microbes in the mouth reside on the tongue.

Key takeaways:

-  When the tongue is not cleaned properly bacteria can thrive in the biofilm created.
-  Cleaning the tongue is an important part of an oral care routine and is simple to do.
-  You can use a metal spoon with the bowl face down toward the tongue to gently scrape the tongue clean.

"Do this quick scrape 3-4 times and then spit and rinse. Not only will your mouth be healthier, but many people also find that this increases their ability to taste subtle flavors in foods."
