Always Take Great Care Of Your Oral Health!

Every child since a young age is being taught to wash the teeth after every meal, to take care of the oral health. All of that is very important in order to be able to have good oral health, but also to keep the health of your entire system in excellent shape.

Everyone takes care of the hygiene of their teeth I am sure about that, but how many of you clean the tongue while washing the teeth?

Believe me as important is to keep clean the teeth it is of the same importance to keep clean the tongue as well. By cleaning the tongue, you can prevent the appearance of bad breath and other serious health issues such as paradonthosis of the teeth or even prevent falling teeth.

In our mouth live more than 700 various types of bacteria and plenty of them can be found all over the tongue. While sleeping our body removes toxins from our organism and the tongue is the one organ which eliminates those toxins from the digestive system. You can see the toxins as a white layer all over the tongue.

Now, we will tell you about a couple of serious health issues which can happen if there is no adequate care оf the tongue:

◇ Damaged sense for taste

The taste sense is one of the five important senses оf every person. The buds found on the epithelium of the tongue are responsible for people to be able to have taste. They are created from retaining and receptor cells from which come out nerve fibers which merge in the nerves that lead to further cerebral cortex. On the surface of the tongue especially on the root of the tongue there are plenty of warts where the buds can be found. So, if you are not washing the tongue the bacteria, the leftovers from the food as well as the dead cells from the skin can cover up the buds and weaken the sense of taste. If you are washing the tongue regularly (it is recommended to do it every time you wash your teeth) you will be able to remove those layers and the buds will regain their shape.

◇ Bad breath

One of the most usual issue if you are not cleaning the tongue is the bad breath. This issue happens because of the gathered bacteria which are found on the surface of the tongue. The bacteria which creates bad breath usually is found at the end of the tongue and that is why is very important to clean the tongue so you can eliminate the bad breath.

◇ Periоdontitis

The bacteria gathered on the tongue can expand all over the teeth as well. This will cause inflammation on the gums. If the inflammation is not treated it will turn out to be a much serious issue as it is the case of periodontitis, it is a situation when the teeth gums are affected because of the infection.

So, take good care of your oral health, wash the teeth after every meal and always remember to wash and clean thoroughly the tongue as well. In this way you will be able to keep your oral health in perfect condition.
