Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to review the literature whether tongue cleaning needs to be a part of daily oral hygiene owing to presence of large number of microorganisms. Among the studies included for the present review, it has been observed that the occurrence of halitosis is reduced to a level of 75% after cleaning with mechanical tongue cleaning aids such as tongue scraper after 1 week.
