How many of you clean his/her tongue? Did you know it is as much important as brushing your teeth? It's highly effective esp with those who suffer from bad breath...and so many people neglect that.

Hi there :) For me cleaning my mouth is a very very important thing to do.. I brush my teeth after eating anything my friends used to make fun of me because of this.. they used to say -hey you drank water you should go brush your teeth :p-, clean my tongue, floss and wash my mouth on daily bases... I hate bad breath and dirty teeth.. ewwwwww... Nice topic :)

Yes i do clean my tongue... Bacteria doesn't just dwell in the gum lines. I got myself one of those crest brushes with the tongue cleaner on the back. Works pretty well i have to say.

I always clean my tongue whenever I'm brushing my teeth. But seldom with the use of a tongue cleaner. I feel cleaner brushing my tongue than using a tongue cleaner.

Yes, of course. Whenever I brush my teeth, I also brush and clean my tongue. And I do that to erase all the dirt coming from the food I eat. And I am doing that 4 times a day. And according to the dentist, that is a healthy sign of a good teeth.

Cleaning my tongue is really an important thing to do. I clean my tongue before I would brush my teeth. I do it thrice a day. With it, I feel very clean and healthy.

Im probably one of those who doesn't neglect it, but hasnt understood what's so good about tongue cleaning. Besides that i have a slight problem if i have to stick someting a bit into my mouth, it feels disturbing due to that i feel some fomit reflex by doing it.

i heard from a schoolmate one time that their professor told them that it is not necessary to clean our tongue. but for me, i am more satisfied at the cleanliness of my mouth if i clean my tongue. i mean, bacteria also dwell in one's saliva right? and the tongue is the producer of that saliva...

My toothbrush has a tongue scraper on the back so I do it every time I brush my teeth.

I do actually clean my tongue. I did not do it for the longest time, but eventually I learned that it's pretty important to do so. My wife had a tongue scraper and I noticed it and I asked her about it and she eventually told me about the need to clean my tongue.

i've heard that before too. mouth wash also helps to kill the germs that cause bad breath. I usually just brush mine with my tooth brush.
