Harmful Things That Happen When You Do Not Brush Your Tongue!
Here is why you must never miss out on brushing your tongue!
Surely, most of us would know by now how important dental hygiene is, right?
Right from a very young age, we are advised and trained by our parents to brush our teeth twice every day, once in the morning and once at night.
However, many of us may not follow this rule and end up having unhygienic teeth, or even worse cavities and gum problems.
Now, in the process of brushing our teeth, we are also supposed to clean our tongues, either by brushing it with the tooth brush or by using a tongue scraper to remove all the excess white coating accumulated on the tongue.
Apart from giving you a bad breath and making people cringe when you talking, not keeping your tongue clean can also cause certain health complications!
There are over 700 different bacterial species living in the mouth. Some are healthy and others are not, so it is extremely important to keep your tongue clean.
Here is what happens when you do not clean your tongue.
1.
Duller
Taste
Buds
The
bacterial
coating
on
your
tongue
becomes
more
dense
when
you
don't
brush
it,
eventually
making
your
taste
buds
go
numb!
2.
Black
Hairy
Tongue
This
is
a
condition
in
which
your
tongue
gets
stained
from
food
dyes
and
beverages
like
coffee,
because
you
are
not
brushing
away
the
coating,
thus
giving
your
tongue
a
permanent
dark
and
furry
appearance!
3.
Yeast
Infection
Although
yeast
infection
is
usually
associated
with
the
genital
organs,
it
can
also
affect
your
mouth,
when
the
harmful
fungi
on
the
tongue
multiply
due
to
the
lack
of
brushing.
4.
Periodontal
Disease
The
bacteria
buildup
on
the
tongue
can
spread
to
your
teeth
and
gums,
when
it
is
not
brushed
away,
causing
infection
and
inflammation
of
the
gums,
known
as
the
periodontal
disease.
