Tongue scrapers only slightly reduce bad breath

Bad breath is a common problem for many people, given the wide variety of substances traveling through our mouths daily. Some people avoid offensive foods and drinks, chew gum, use mouth rinses, or eat mints to mask unpleasant odor. Others cannot escape bad breath quite so easily. At least 40 million Americans suffer from halitosis. Unfortunately, there is no standard treatment for it.

According to a study in the September/October issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD) clinical, peer-reviewed journal, halitosis is a term used to describe any disagreeable odor of expired air. Bad breath is a generally accepted term for foul smells emanating from the mouth. Oral malodor is a term reserved for unpleasant smells originating from the oral cavity. “A common reason for bad breath is post-nasal drip, which coats the back area of the tongue with bacteria-rich mucous,” says AGD spokesperson, June Lee, DDS, MAGD. “A tongue scraper is often effective in relieving oral malodor caused by sinus drainage.”

The study reviewed literature examining the effects of using tongue scrapers to brush the tongue, rather than using a toothbrush to scrape the tongue. Data revealed that a tongue cleaner/scraper demonstrated a significant difference in reducing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) levels, which are produced when bacteria and amino acids interact to produce bad breath.

Though there is no standard treatment, bacteria-causing halitosis can be reduced by brushing or scraping the middle and back of the tongue. Tongue scraping can lower VSC concentration, subsequently reducing oral malodor. However, that reduction is only short-term, and not an absolute solution for eliminating malodor. The authors of the General Dentistry article feel that future research is necessary to determine what role undetected odorants may play in oral malodor, as well as more well designed, randomized clinical trials to compare the effectiveness of tongue scrapers, toothbrushes, and mouth rinses on reducing VSC levels.

Despite the short-term reduction, Dr. Lee feels that tongue scrapers are a good tool for the short-term. “Tongue cleaners and scrapers are straightforward and comfortable to use, easy to transport, and inexpensively priced. Cleaning the tongue is quickly and easily accomplished. Everyone from children to elders should be able to incorporate this technique into their oral care regimen.”

Bad breath basics:

• Halitosis is a general term used to describe any disagreeable odor of expired air, regardless of its origin.
• Bad breath is a generally accepted term for foul smells emanating from the mouth.
• Oral malodor is a term reserved for halitosis originating from the oral cavity.

Tongue scrapers only slightly reduce bad breath
舌刮器治疗口臭收效甚微

Bad breath is a common problem for many people, given the wide variety of substances traveling through our mouths daily. Some people avoid offensive foods and drinks, chew gum, use mouth rinses, or eat mints to mask unpleasant odor. Others cannot escape bad breath quite so easily. At least 40 million Americans suffer from halitosis. Unfortunately, there is no standard treatment for it.
想到每天有种类繁多的食物从我们的嘴里穿越而过，口臭成为困扰许多人的毛病就不足为奇。有些人避免有异味的食物与饮料，嚼口香糖，使用漱口液，或者食用薄荷来掩盖那些令人不快的气味。但是有些人就是难以摆脱口臭。至少有40,000,000的美国人深受其害。不幸的是，至今我们仍无特效药。

According to a study in the September/October issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD) clinical, peer-reviewed journal, halitosis is a term used to describe any disagreeable odor of expired air. Bad breath is a generally accepted term for foul smells emanating from the mouth. Oral malodor is a term reserved for unpleasant smells originating from the oral cavity. “A common reason for bad breath is post-nasal drip, which coats the back area of the tongue with bacteria-rich mucous,” says AGD spokesperson, June Lee, DDS, MAGD. “A tongue scraper is often effective in relieving oral malodor caused by sinus drainage.”
根据9/10月份的《牙科学》——美国牙科学会发行的一本临床综述类杂志中指出，口臭一词用来形容任何呼出气体中带有异味的症状；呼气性口臭通常指由嘴里散发出的异味；口腔性口臭指源于口腔的口臭。“呼气性口臭的常见病因是鼻后部的液体流下舌体后部，将富含细菌的粘液涂抹其上，”美国牙科学会的发言人、牙科学博士、美国牙科学会主要成员June Lee说，“舌刮器往往可以有效除去由于鼻窦流液引起的口腔性口臭。”

The study reviewed literature examining the effects of using tongue scrapers to brush the tongue, rather than using a toothbrush to scrape the tongue. Data revealed that a tongue cleaner/scraper demonstrated a significant difference in reducing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) levels, which are produced when bacteria and amino acids interact to produce bad breath.
这项研究回顾了文献中使用舌刮器而非牙刷来刮舌的疗效。数据显示舌刮器/舌清洁器对减少挥发性硫化物有显著作用，后者正是由于细菌与氨基酸互相作用而产生呼气性口臭的罪魁祸首。

Though there is no standard treatment, bacteria-causing halitosis can be reduced by brushing or scraping the middle and back of the tongue. Tongue scraping can lower VSC concentration, subsequently reducing oral malodor. However, that reduction is only short-term, and not an absolute solution for eliminating malodor. The authors of the General Dentistry article feel that future research is necessary to determine what role undetected odorants may play in oral malodor, as well as more well designed, randomized clinical trials to compare the effectiveness of tongue scrapers, toothbrushes, and mouth rinses on reducing VSC levels.
虽然没有特效药，通过刮洗舌中部和后部仍可以减缓菌源性口臭。舌刮器能降低挥发性硫化物的浓度，从而治疗口腔性口臭。但是，降低的时间短，不能完全解决散发出的异味。《牙科学》中该文的作者认为，将来的研究务必确定口腔性口臭中未知气体的作用，还需设计更好的临床随机实验来比较舌刮器、牙刷与漱口液降低挥发性硫化物的疗效。

Despite the short-term reduction, Dr. Lee feels that tongue scrapers are a good tool for the short-term. “Tongue cleaners and scrapers are straightforward and comfortable to use, easy to transport, and inexpensively priced. Cleaning the tongue is quickly and easily accomplished. Everyone from children to elders should be able to incorporate this technique into their oral care regimen.”
尽管疗效并不持久，Lee博士还是认为舌刮器是短期治疗的利器。“舌刮器作用直接、使用方便、易于携带并且价格实惠。清洁舌头快又简便，男女老少都应该在日常口腔护理中使用。”

Bad breath basics:

• Halitosis is a general term used to describe any disagreeable odor of expired air, regardless of its origin.
口臭:形容任何呼出气体中带有异味的症状,无论呼出气体源起何处。

• Bad breath is a generally accepted term for foul smells emanating from the mouth.
呼气性口臭：指由嘴里散发出的异味。

• Oral malodor is a term reserved for halitosis originating from the oral cavity.
口腔性口臭：特指源于口腔的口臭。

对于上文中红色部分的定义，我没有把握，请各位不吝赐教。
