<p>A method and an apparatus of eliminating bad breath, 'Halitosis', of a person, which bad breath depends on proteins, plaque and other material that has been clogged in the cavities between papillae of the tongue (1) thereby giving rise to a decomposition of said material with a resulting development of sulphurous gases, and in which said clogged material is broken up using an ultrasonic scraper blade (9) which drawn forwards-downwards over the tongue (1), starting at the rearmost part of the tongue, whereupon said broken up material (7) is removed by means of water and/or a combination of water and air. The method can be completed by a preparatory step including covering the surface of the tongue with a gel comprising a component (hypochlorite, HClO) which at least partly resolves such clogged material.</p> |
