Tongue depressors are small medical tools that depress the tongue in order to allow the examination of the mouth and throat. Speech teachers also used tongue depressors to teach deaf children to learn how to pronounce specific sounds such as “k” or “g”. Historically, tongue depressors have been made of a wide range of materials. Nowadays tongue depressors are made of wood, they are flat, thin, smoothed and both ends are rounded. Tongue depressors are disposed of every single use because they are difficult to clean and to user’s advantage they are not expensive.
Manufacturers now provide a variety of tongue depressors that even have some pleasant aroma and flavor (like tutti-frutti), colored in pink, green, yellow and other colors with assorted animal figures. These features help to reduce discomfort and fear for children during a visit to a doctor.
Tongue depressors (sometimes called craft sticks or popsicle sticks) can be used not only in medicine but also as art. Sometimes teachers or hobbyists use tongue depressors in their projects to create something unique.
