Thread: TONGUE Cleaning

Beware of "over" flossing and "over" brushing as this can lead to receding gums which can then lead to additional concerns later in life.

Your gums are some of the most delicate tissue that you have access to in your entire body. So please be careful.

some toothbrushes have a thing on the back which seems to work!

I use a toothbrush with rubber scrapper at the back to clean my tongue and finish it with a mouthwash. Do not brush your tongue, use a toothbrush with rubber like scrappers.

Of course, not all tongue cleaners are created equal. When visiting your local pharmacy or drugstore you will notice that there are various models available. Some are rigid, while others are remarkably flexible. Some feel flimsy and look like they will not last very long, while others appear to be made for the long haul. Some are made from plastic, while others, at specialty stores, will be made from copper.
