Abstract: A disposable oral-hygiene instrument for loosening, collecting, and removing debris from the surface of the tongue. The device comprises a handle at one end with a textured surface at the other end for scrubbing the dorsal surface of the tongue. Along the distal perimeter edge of the scrubbing surface extends a scraper for moving debris from the back to the front of the tongue. Affixed to the same end of the instrument as the scrubbing surface is an absorbent material for collecting and removing debris. The instrument is designed to avoid gag reflex due to its low profile.
