A tongue depressor is a small, flat, wooden or plastic tool used in medical examinations to hold down the tongue. It allows healthcare providers to examine the throat and mouth for various medical purposes, such as checking for infections, examining the gums and teeth, or evaluating the throat's condition. Tongue depressors are hygienic as they are thrown away after each use, making sure that each patient receives a clean examination tool.
