Do you clean your tongue when you brush your teeth?

[Biohazard]

your getting me worried now lol.

Apparently there a was a big thing years ago with the alcohol content in Listerine potentially causing cancer.

To be fair I think it applied to most gob washes

 

[Nymins]

Yeah I do it every once in a while. When my tounge starts looking a bit manky.

 

[Netguy]

[Dappo]

I do. Used to hate it at first though.

 

[mjt]

Yes, as I used to smoke.
Still do it even though I quit ages ago.

 

[Cornholio.]

As a dental student the only advice I can give is to brush the back of the tongue - the bacteria that cause bad breath tend to live there

 

[MiNxYyY]

I have an orabrush. Find it good.

Used to make me heave but not anymore.

You're not supposed to brush your tongue, the bristles are too harsh. Get a tongue scraper.

I lick windows to clean mine
