A reusable tongue scraper is a handheld device designed to clean the surface of the tongue by removing plaque, food debris, and bacteria to improve oral hygiene and prevent bad breath. These devices are typically made of materials like copper due to their natural antibacterial properties and feature a scraping edge that is manually pulled across the tongue.
Reusable tongue scrapers are generally available over-the-counter without a prescription and are intended for repeated use. They are regulated as general wellness devices in most markets, focusing on hygiene maintenance rather than medical treatment.
