Hi, i've been taught by mom to brush my tongue since i was a kid and i think everybody also brush their tongue when they brush their teeth, but when i grew up, i started to realize that not everyone brush their tongue, and most of them don't know how to do it or why they should do it, even one of my ex gf didn't know about brush tongue thing until i told her about it, i myself always brush my tongue since it can make our breath more fresh:) so do u brush ur tongue?

It made me laugh when I saw this discussion. I too learned at a very young age to brush my tongue when I brush my teeth. I was taught that it was an important step in oral hygiene in order to remove bacteria and keep breath fresh.

As I have gotten older, I have also noticed that not all people do this. I guess it is just more proof in how different people are raised and taught in different ways.

i always feel like a bit bitter in my mouth if i haven't brush my tongue, even though i have brush my teeth LOL
but i think it's really an important thing to do for our oral hygiene:) anyway thanks for sharing with us:)

Here where I live the dentist tell us to brush our tongue. Whenever your brush your tongue then the food will not taste slimy in your mouth. Alot of persons do not practice it but I love to do it. The tongue does carry bacteria and this need to be clean.

that's good if your dentist tells u to brush your tongue, since i don't remember at all my dentist ever told me about those brush tongue thing, maybe because she doesn't brush her tongue too LOL anyway thanks for sharing with us:)

I have never brush my tongue because there is nobody tole me about that. I think the toothbrush is hard and may hurt my tongue. After read this, I think I would have a try.


myLot reputation of 86/100. poshboy (194)   ranked 7,692 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Just brush it gently, don't push it too hard or too deep into your throat, if you're going too deep, you'll feel like you want to throw up, you should try it and i'm sure you'll have fresher breath:)

When i first learned how to brush my teeth, i was also taught to brush my tounge.

80% of bacteria and germs are located on the tounge and just brushing the teeth will not do anything.


myLot reputation of 86/100. poshboy (194)   ranked 7,692 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Yup, i agree with u, just brushing teeth is not enough, we must brush our tongue too for our own hygiene & health, thanks for sharing with us:)

i don't brush my tongue, i clean it using tongue cleaner. it's more effective than brush. cleaning tongue is very important. it's said that 85% dirt in our mouth is at our tongue, not our teeth.


myLot reputation of 86/100. poshboy (194)   ranked 7,692 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

yes, we can use tongue cleaner, it's more easy to use, but i prefer just brush it with my toothbrush, maybe because i have used to it:) thanks for sharing with us:)

I did it for a month, and now, i don't do it anymore. Cause my gf always do it with her tongue..lol..(what does it mean??). I brushed my tongue when i found whole of my tongue was white maybe because of milk. Used to drink milk everyday. But since i didn't drink it anymore, my tongue wasn't looked white anymore, so i decided to stop brushing my tongue.


myLot reputation of 86/100. poshboy (194)   ranked 7,692 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

wew..your gf brush your tongue with her tongue? i don't think that will clean ur tongue, but i read that kissing is also a good way to clean our mouth, since it'll produce more saliva when we're kissing, so it can help clean our teeth, don't know if it's true or not, i just read it from an article, anyway thanks for sharing:)
