The present invention is a tongue brush having both functions of a brush part and a spatula part, wherein a spatula part is arranged in parallel at the tip part of the brush part, and a gap and a cavity are formed between the tip part of the tongue coating removing brush and the spatula part. It is provided with a double ring with the function of taking the remaining residue and tongue coating removed on the tongue into the gap and temporarily storing it, and adopting non-woven fabric etc. for the brush part, softening the tongue coating The most important feature is a brush for removing tongue coating that is smooth, hygienic and gentle on the tongue
In addition, by considering only the double ring as a single item, and providing a handle to it, and designing it into a simple T-shaped spatula type, it can be provided more inexpensively as a single tongue coating removal brush.

The tongue coating removal brush of the present invention has a function of temporarily collecting the remaining residue and tongue coating removed on the tongue while removing it in the gap and cavity between the tip of the tongue coating removal brush and the spatula portion.
Therefore, in the conventional brush for tongue coating removal, the removed residue and tongue coating are scraped or gathered on the tongue and removed or wiped out with a cloth, etc., but the tongue coating removal brush of the present invention removes the remaining residue. The residue and tongue coating can be neatly removed without taking up the remaining residue and tongue coating on the tongue by taking it into the gap or cavity between the tip of the tongue coating brush and the spatula and entwining it.

In general, brush flocking is applied to the tongue base of the tongue coating, but by adopting a non-woven fabric that is excellent in water absorption, soft and quick to dry, the work can be done smoothly and without damaging the tongue. By adding additional treatments such as xylitol and other chemicals and refreshing agents to non-woven fabrics, etc., the added value can be further increased, such as giving a sterilizing effect, cooling and refreshing feeling after use.
