DrTung's® Redefines Oral Care: The #1 Tongue Cleaner in the Natural Channel Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
KANEOHE, Hawaii, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - For more than 25 years, DrTung's has been transforming oral care with products that work with the body, not against it. The company proudly announces that its Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner, the first of its kind introduced commercially in the U.S., is the #1 best-selling tongue cleaner in the natural products industry, with over 2 million units sold nationwide. This milestone underscores DrTung's leadership in biocompatible oral care, where efficacy meets integrity.
A Revolution in Tongue Cleaning
When DrTung's launched its stainless-steel tongue cleaner in 1997, the concept of tongue cleaning was virtually unknown in the U.S. Today, it's a global oral-care essential, clinically proven to remove up to 30% more bacteria than brushing your tongue with a toothbrush.
"Our goal was never to follow trends—it was to create products that truly work in harmony with your body," said Colin Davis, Founder and CEO of DrTung's. "Biocompatibility means efficacy without compromise: products that are effective, safe, and aligned with whole-body wellness."
Market Leadership Backed by Data
DrTung's continues to lead with data-backed innovation. According to SPINS 2025 Natural Channel Data, DrTung's ranks #1 in the Oral Care Tools Category, with both its Smart Floss® and Tongue Cleaner among the top-selling products in the U.S.
Clinically Proven Innovation
The company's clinically validated portfolio reinforces its reputation for results-driven care. Smart Floss is proven to remove up to 55% more plaque than conventional floss and to reduce the gum bleeding index by over 50%. DrTung's Herbal Toothpowder Tabs – a fresh, simple-to-use toothpaste alternative – are also clinically proven to relieve dry-mouth symptoms in 87% of people in just 15 days, helping restore saliva balance and support the oral microbiome. Each product exemplifies the brand's ethos: Efficacy Through Innovation, where natural, science-backed ingredients deliver clinically validated results.
"Efficacy is our obsession," adds Davis. "We create products that are not only more effective but also safer for people and the planet. That's what oral care should be."

Blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science, DrTung's has spent over two decades proving that natural and effective don't have to be opposites.
