Tongue Depressors are thin, flat instruments used in medical practice to examine the tongue and oral cavity. They are usually used by doctors and dentists for diagnosis and treatment. They are characterised by a long and narrow shape, often with a flat, rounded end. This end helps to position the instrument comfortably under the tongue or near the palate.
Tongue Depressors are usually sterilised and disposable to minimise the risk of infection. Doctors and dentists often use these instruments to assess conditions and symptoms, such as examining the tongue and oral cavity, detecting periodontal disease, or monitoring for aphthae and other oral lesions.
Tongue depressors can be made of different materials, such as wood or plastic. The choice of material depends on the purpose for which the instrument will be used.
