You know those wooden sticks at the doctor they use to look in your throat and on your tongue. A tongue depressor is that stick. It allows stronger viewing of the inside of your mouth to help doctors which consequently leads to better treatment. A healthcare provider may use this stick to view your throat and tongue. What about when you eat a cold popsicle on a hot day? The kicker here is that the stick that it comes on is called a popsicle stick — sure, because you ate a popsicle and this fact sticks in with nature of the flavor — and it is made out of the same kind of wood as the tongue depressor! Isn’t that interesting? But did you know, these wooden sticks can be used for lot more interesting stuff.
The Kaixuan Wood skewers are some of the oldest tools we have in healthcare (originating during ancient Greece and Rome!) During those days simple wooden sticks were used by doctors to peep into the mouth of a patient and check something wrong in there. But at that time, the sticks were frequently used on multiple patients and this spread germs from one patient to another. This was not safe at all! A single-use tongue depressor that was safe to use on one patient was patented by a man, Robert William Means in 1900. Although made of wood like they were back then, today most tongue depressors are treated and pose no harm to anyone.
One of the most valuable tools of all is a simple tongue depressor. These Kaixuan Wood lignea skewer help your dentist or doctor determine whether there is swelling, injury, or sores in your mouth by examining the tongue as well as throat. Tongue depressor is easily used by doctor to look inside your mouth in few seconds without any pain. It enables them to detect any underlying problems that may need care. Tongue depressors are also sometimes used during medical procedures to allow you to breathe more easily or keep your mouth open. It would also be more difficult for doctors and dentists to identify the problem and so effectively treat oral health diseases without these q-tips.
