Irrigators with a nozzle for cleaning the tongue

Tongue cleaning

— nozzles for cleaning the tongue and the inner surface of the cheeks from foreign plaque.

This procedure is beneficial for overall oral hygiene and can help eliminate bad breath. The design of the nozzle used for this purpose varies depending on the type of device it is intended for. In irrigators, the nozzles typically have a spatula-like design, which not only rinses but also effectively scrapes away contaminants. On toothbrushes designed for tongue cleaning, the heads feature small, solid protrusions on their surface, which efficiently remove plaque from the textured surface of the tongue.
