    I didn't used to but one time I observed that my bad breath seems to go away when I brush my tongue and have done it ever since.

    Yeah I try to do that at least twice (once after mouthwash, once after brushing)
    A lot of bactiria lives on your tongue, so not only will it cure bad breath, it's better for your teeth, too, I believe.

  • Sometimes. I do it every day when I get a brush with a tongue pad.. otherwise, I do two swipes or only do it when there's obviously a bad taste/smell on my tongue. I know my tongue is dirty and the gunk on it might stick to my bristles. I don't want to mix the tongue stuff with the teeth stuff.

    I get weird about weird things.

    Statistics say that the tongue carries the most bacteria in the whole of the mouth so yes I think that you should you brush your tongue otherwise you could get fungi and that would be very unfortunate and disgusting. No one would want to kiss you anymore..

    sometimes using a teaspoon really scrapes all the stuff out. brush and rinse, then use the spoon again.

    i wash the back of my tongue with a thing called an orabrush so that my breath doesn't smell bad. always use it on the back of your tongue because that's where all the dirt builds up ( if you don't brush your tongue at the back you see instead of pink a kind of whitish-grayish-greenish stuff that you can't get rid of just by touching it or something.

    your tongue holds the most of the bacteria that gives you bad breath, so by brushing your tongue, you can get better breath longer!

  • If u gag , Just put ur tongue out as far as possible. Then u just brush the front and main part of ur tongue. That's what i do :P
