Brushing versus scraping your tongue. What's the difference? Number one, when we're talking about tongue brushing or scraping, we're talking about sulfur compounds. These are things that make your breath smell bad. Okay? So when we're talking about scraping versus brushing, what we're looking for is is what's the reduction in sulfur compounds? Brushing, we'll typically see around 45 to 50% reduction. One of the things it'll do is is it'll kind of clean it up, but it'll tier and agitate it a little bit. Scraping, we see about a 75% removal. Which one's better? Probably scraping because it shows a higher reduction in that. And that's ultimately what you're trying to do is is get rid of those sulfur compounds to have fresher breath. It'll pull bacteria out, make it feel a little bit better. So I would say scraping.
