Fox News: This odd dental habit could spark heart health risks, experts warn
Searches for "tongue scraper" have surged in recent years, reflecting a growing interest in this dental hygiene practice. While tongue scraping can enhance taste and remove bacteria, experts warn of potential heart health risks, such as introducing bacteria into the bloodstream.
Moderation is key, as excessive scraping may disrupt beneficial microbes and lower nitric oxide levels, potentially leading to high blood pressure. Experts emphasize that tongue scraping should not replace regular brushing and flossing, which are essential for maintaining oral health.
