1st Aid Tongue Brush and Scraper is an oral hygiene device designed to clean the yeast Candida albican from the surface of the tongue. Candida albican is the primary cause of oral thrush.nbspCandida is present in the oral cavity of almost half of the population but with no symptoms present.nbspCandidanbspis not harmful until thenbspbiological chemistry of the mouthnbspis disruptednbspin favour ofnbspthe candida, causing it to develop faster than thenbspother micro organisms that are present.nbspSuch dispruptions can occur as a side effect of taking antibiotics or treatments such as chemotherapy also by certain conditions such as diabetes, drug abuse, malnutrition, and as a consequence of immune deficiencies relating to old age or infection.nbspThe top surface of the tongue can be cleaned using a 1st aid tongue brush and scaper. Toothbrushes are not effective for this purpose because they are designed for brushing the teeth, which have a solid structure unlike the spongy tissue of the tongue. The ergonomic handlesnbspare shaped in accordance with the anatomy of the tongue, and are optimized to lift and trap the plaque coating and effectively clean the surface of the tongue.
