Abstract: A tongue conditioning implement includes a handle, a head and a removable and replaceable cartridge including a conditioning element, the handle containing a vibrational motor to cause the implement to vibrate and reduce the manual action needed for the conditioning element to achieve the desired results. The handle can contain a switch and a battery. The head can provide a channel which extends generally transversely to the handle and the cartridge can include two end sections which enable it to snap fit onto the head. The cartridge element can be a scraper with one or more blades or a pad for the application of breath freshener gels or medications to the tongue surface.
