Abstract
A device and method for mechanically cleaning the surface of the root of the human tongue, the device including a cleaning head configured for entry between the soft palate and the surface of the human tongue root, and having abrasive means for mechanically removing pathological microorganisms from the surface of the tongue root, and a handle connected to the cleaning head for manipulation thereof, wherein the device has an overall maximum height at the cleaning head of no more than approximately 15 mm, and wherein the cleaning head is concavely bent. The method includes closing the lips to the rest position about the handle, so as to reduce the gag reflex and to position the handle and the cleaning head generally parallel to the tongue, and providing a relative motion between the cleaning head and the surface of the tongue root by reciprocally pivoting the cleaning head.
