I’ve been doing this for years but my friends were utterly baffled when they found out. I have a cheap, copper plated tongue scraper from a knick-knack store and it does the job beautifully, virtually eliminating morning breath.
Yep, I use some steel thing I got from the drug store for like $5. Works well.
No, I’ve never had a problem with bad breath or matter buildup on my tongue.
I guess it is good to scrape your tongue with toothbrush, scraper or both.
Sometimes! Most of the time I just use my toothbrush. But either way, I absolutely clean my tongue every day.
I just use my toe knife, and jam it up there to get the gunk out
Yeah I learned from some yoga people. I never noticed it make any difference.
Nope but I brush it at the end. Its like front then up and over on the lowers then uppers then roof then tongue.
I just use my electric toothbrush. The first glob of spit afterwards is nasty
I have a neat trick for you; stick your tongue out, bite down, pull tongue in again, spit.
My frenulum ☹️
I’ll start brushing my tongue if I ever get a tongue cavity.
No. I tried it for a while and didn’t see any difference in terms of breath. (I didn’t try your particular tongue scraper brand though)
This was my experience as well. I have no idea if I was doing it wrong (how hard is it to scrape your tongue, after all… it’s not like there’s that much technique involved if everyone else in the thread is just ‘doing it’), but after two months I just stopped.
I do it, but with the toothbrush. There definitely is a difference between scraping it and not scraping.
I do, people don’t know until they buy one it’s so good scraping all the bacterial crud off your tongue every morning. No you can’t just brush it off.
Would a regular spoon work than the plastic scraper? Seems like similar edge for scraping.
I use a dedicated poop knife for scraping my tongue. Just make sure it’s a different color than your regular poop knife.
I use my toothbrush from time to time. I don’t have a specialty tool.
