TONGUE SCRAPING NOT ON EVERYONE'S LIPS

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. (Wireless Flash) -- The dirtiest part of your body isn't where you think -- it's your tongue. That's according to bad breath expert Dr. Jon Richter, who says the tongue has more bacteria per square inch than any other part of the body, including your posterior. The bacteria can cause bad breath, tooth loss and periodontal disease -- but you can fight back by cleaning your tongue. May has been declared National Clean Tongue Month, but Richter admits tongue scraping isn't exactly on everyone's lips The dentist hopes to change that by giving away free tongue cleaners at freetonguecleaners.com. and he also hopes to convince TV networks to have the characters on popular TV shows start mentioning tongue scraping.
