ABSTRACT:
An improved tongue scraper or oral hygiene tool is designed to most effectively and harmlessly remove plaque, tartar, bacteria, dead tissue, food debris, etc. from the tongue. The tool is made of a nonporous substance capable of withstanding high temperatures during repeated sterilization such as metal, and preferably stainless steel. The tool includes unique curves and smooth edges designed to define a working edge contoured similar to that of the tongue and having a nongagging and self-cleaning profile and size.
