Explore the habit of tongue scraping with Dr. Van Dyken. In this video, we delve into its impact on the oral microbiome, investigate whether it aids or hinders nitric oxide production, and examine its effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Join us for an insightful discussion on this oral hygiene practice and its potential health implications.
