Why not use my toothbrush to clean my tongue? The tufted and flat bristles of a toothbrush are designed to remove plaque and bacteria on the smooth surfaces of the teeth. However, your tongue is not smooth, it is uneven, and has many grooves and crevices that bacteria can reside in. The ultra-soft, micro-pointed Orabrush bristles are designed to reach deep into the individual crevices of your tongue and loosen the stinky bacteria. The built-in scraper then scrapes the bacteria residue away. Should I use toothpaste to clean my tongue? Normal toothpaste is too thick and sticks to the Orabrush bristles, making it difficult to clean the tongue and the Orabrush bristles.
