About 50% of the population experiences halitosis (bad breath), according to the National Library of Medicine. “Typically, it’s caused by bacteria on your teeth or tongue, or debris collected on your tonsils,” Dr. Amber Bonnaig, a dentist, previously told HuffPost. In short, bad breath can and does happen to the best of us. The remedy is a consistent oral hygiene routine — including NOT skipping your tongue. Many flip a toothbrush over it and scrub away with those little rubber ridges. Others employ tongue scrapers. Still, more and more reviewers are realizing those methods don’t always address bad breath long-term. They’ve since turned to a $10 fix they say beats everything else they tried: The Original TUNG Tongue Cleaning Kit.

People who’ve tried everything to clear their white tongues or tame the sour scent emanating from their mouths say this special $10 gel and brush kit beats regular toothbrushes and toothpaste by miles 👀.

“I feel like this product gave me my life back,” one reviewer wrote. “My breath would still stink after brushing and swishing with mouthwash. This is the only product I’ve used that eliminates the odor and removes the visible layer of yellowish bacteria.”

As you likely know, the tongue is where much of the bacteria that causes bad breath likes to hang out, especially in all those tiny grooves a standard toothbrush can miss. This TUNG kit pairs a tongue brush with minty-flavored cleaning gel to help remove the bacteria and buildup that can contribute to bad breath.
