ABSTRACT:
A disposable oral cleaning apparatus for cleaning and removing particles and bacteria from the upper surface of the tongue and between the teeth, including an elongated handle, a head component and a flexible connector connecting the elongated handle and the head component. The head component has a pre-cleaning portion, a cleaning portion and an absorbent portion to provide an initial cleaning of the coating of the tongue, a secondary deep cleansing of the pores of the tongue, and a final absorption and removal of all debris. The oral cleaning apparatus is adapted to promote proper cleansing of the tongue and teeth so as to eliminate oral bacteria and bad breath, to reduce tooth decay, gum disease and plaque buildup, and promote proper oral hygiene with no deleterious changes to the tongue.
