tongue cleaner

Mouth hygiene tool

A tongue cleaner is a tool designed to scrape debris, bacteria, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue.

Usually a thin strip of plastic or metal with a curved scraping edge, it's drawn across the tongue from back to front.

Tongue cleaners are used for oral hygiene and to reduce bad breath: I added a tongue cleaner to my morning routine.
