Do you clean your tongue when you brush your teeth?

I brush my tongue after i've finished brushing my teeth, your whole mouth feels clean and refreshing afterwards. I find it also keeps you from getting smelly breath (or less smelly) during the day as well.

No, tongues don't decay, teeth do.
It's just a stupid marketing ploy.

Cleaning your tongue is a marketing ploy? Marketing for who, the bad breath brigade?

With a tongue scrapper !!

I brush my tongue every time I clean my teeth and have done for years now. My mouth just doesn't feel clean any more if I don't clean my tongue as well! Once you get used to it you don't gag at all and it really does help to keep your breath smelling nice. It also looks much cleaner.

Maybe I should have gone into more detail...like some of you have with the dimensions of your head.... :eek:

I use a electric brush anyway so its not so bad or rough as I can imagine a normal brush is. *insert thats what she said joke!*

Tongue scraper, always have done for my life that I can remember. Feels wrong if I don't give it a clean when I brush my teeth. There's all that crap on the tongue you just gotta get rid of.

Man up, those who gag. You're doing it wrong

It does help if you stick your tounge out instead of shoving your toothbrush in your mouth.

No, but some people need to.

i don't, never thought i'd need to really. does it really make any difference, especially if you mouthwash later?

Raymond Lin · 21 Jan 2011 at 23:17

yes, I brush it after i brushed my teeth.

Just staying hydrated normally means you create enough saliva to clean your tongue.

That's why British are known for their bad breath and teeth. Cleaning your tongue will help but you shouldn't do it every day as you can damage your tastebuds.

supposed to give you fresher breath as lots of bacteria live on the tongue

Bet that varies on what you use your tongue for.
