Yes. Food hits your tongue too. 9/10 dentists approve. The other guy has a fake degree on his wall.

Yeah. I’m scraping away bacteria that causes bad breath. Brushing lets those little buggers know I mean business.

Yes, every time I brush. I don’t want to get “black hairy tonue”.

I have tried it. I don’t particularly like the feeling, but it does help to remove food and bacteria.

Every time I brush. You can even buy tongue scrapers specifically.

There’s more bacteria left over on your tongue than any other crevice in your mouth. I do it every single day, I think I wouldn’t feel like I got the job done if I didn’t.

Twice daily. Keeps the stink off of it, doncha know.

Yes, always. Sometimes I use a spoon as well.

Get a tongue scraper. I love mine.

If I don’t brush my tongue, the bad mouth taste comes back pretty fast. Brushing the tongue keeps my mouth fresher, and that makes life better.
