Frequently asked questions

The TUNG Brush is a dentist-designed tongue-cleaning tool created specifically for the textured surface of your tongue. Its short, firm bristles reach deep into the tiny grooves (papillae) where odor-causing bacteria hide—something regular toothbrushes or tongue scrapers cannot do.

Toothbrushes are designed for flat tooth surfaces, not the uneven terrain of the tongue.

Their long, soft bristles flatten out and glide over the surface.
They cannot reach the deep crevices where bacteria build up.
The bulky handle makes it difficult to reach the back of the tongue without gagging.

The TUNG Brush was engineered to solve all of these problems efficiently.

A tongue scraper only removes the thin surface layer of debris. But most odor-causing bacteria don’t live on the surface — they hide deep within the tiny grooves and crevices of your tongue, especially toward the back where a scraper cannot reach without triggering gagging.

The TUNG Brush was designed differently from the ground up:

Short, firm bristles deep-clean the textured surface of the tongue, reaching where a scraper simply cannot.
Designed for the back of the tongue — the ergonomic handle and angled head make it easier to reach the most bacteria-dense area without discomfort.
Removes biofilm, not just surface coating. The brush lifts and disrupts the sticky biofilm that causes bad breath, allowing it to be washed away.
Works synergistically with TUNG Gel. The zinc-based gel neutralizes odor-causing sulfur gases right at the source. Scrapers cannot deliver this dual-action benefit.

Result:

A deeper clean, better breath, and a routine that takes only 10 seconds — proven more effective and far more comfortable than scraping.

TUNG Gel is a zinc-based, oxygenating tongue gel that neutralizes odor-causing sulfur compounds at the source. It enhances the cleaning action of the TUNG Brush while leaving your mouth fresh without burning or harsh chemicals.

Yes, but for best results we recommend using it with TUNG Gel.

The brush removes debris and biofilm; the gel neutralizes odor and reaches deep into the papillae. Together, they deliver noticeably fresher breath in seconds.

Use it once daily, ideally as part of your morning or night routine.

Consistent daily use helps:

Prevent bad breath
Improve taste sensation
Maintain overall oral hygiene

The TUNG Brush was designed with a low-profile head and ergonomic angle to reach the back of the tongue without triggering your gag reflex. Most users find that tongue brushing becomes easy and comfortable within a few uses.

Yes. Its dentist-recommended design is gentle yet effective. The bristles are firm enough to clean biofilm but soft enough not to damage taste buds or delicate tongue tissue.

For hygiene and performance, replace your TUNG Brush every 3 months, similar to replacing your toothbrush.

Absolutely. TUNG Gel is formulated without harsh alcohols or burning ingredients. The zinc compound works without sting, making it ideal even for sensitive users.

Yes, kids older than 10 years old can use the TUNG Brush under adult supervision.

For younger kids, consult your dentist first to ensure proper technique and safety.

Regular tongue cleaning removes up to 90% of the bacteria responsible for bad breath. Many users experience immediate improvement.

For persistent halitosis, consult a dentist or physician to rule out underlying causes.

Yes. Taste buds become coated with debris and bacteria, dulling your sense of taste. Daily cleaning helps restore taste clarity, making food taste better.

Apply a pea-sized amount of TUNG Gel to the brush.
Gently brush from back to front across the entire tongue surface.
Rinse your mouth and the brush thoroughly.

The whole process takes 10 seconds.

Simply rinse thoroughly and let dry after each use.

Yes. Tongue cleaning is safe for individuals with braces, crowns, veneers, and implants. It does not interfere with orthodontic appliances.

While it does not directly whiten teeth, cleaning your tongue removes bacteria that contribute to plaque buildup and bad breath, supporting overall oral health.

Yes. Your tongue holds one of the densest bacterial communities in your body, and keeping it clean supports more than fresh breath.

A clean tongue helps:

Improve taste and digestion — removing the coating restores flavor sensitivity and supports better eating.
Promote a healthier gut — fewer harmful oral bacteria are swallowed into the digestive system.
Reduce inflammation — lowering the bacterial load in the mouth helps decrease daily inflammatory stress on the body.
Support immunity — a cleaner mouth means a lighter burden on your immune system.
Enhance respiratory comfort — fewer odor-causing gases produced by bacteria.

Tongue brushing is a simple daily habit that benefits not just your mouth, but your overall wellness.
