Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9722307A1] A tongue cleaner (10) has an elongate shank portion (16) for holding thereof, and a portion (20) extending from one end thereof for supporting a tongue scraping edge (22). The support portion (20) is skewed relative to the shank portion (16) to slope downwardly for effecting engagement of the edge (22) with a posterior part of the upper surface of the tongue (12), so that the posterior part may be comfortably scraped.
