When you do not clean your tongue for a month, several issues can arise:
Bacterial Build-Up: The tongue harbors bacteria, food particles, and dead cells. Without regular cleaning, this can lead to an accumulation of plaque, creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria.
Bad Breath (Halitosis): The build-up of bacteria and food particles on the tongue can produce foul-smelling compounds, leading to persistent bad breath.
Coated Tongue: A white or yellowish coating may develop on theccc tongue, indicating bacterial growth, dehydration, or poor oral hygiene.
Increased Risk of Oral Infections: The accumulation of bacteria on the tongue can contribute to oral infections such as gum disease, tooth decay, and oral thrush.
Reduced Taste Sensitivity: A coated tongue can block taste buds, leading to a diminished sense of taste.
Regular tongue cleaning can help improve oral hygiene, freshen breath, and prevent oral health issues. Using a tongue scraper or brushing the tongue during oral care can significantly reduce these problems.
