Title: Wait - people don't brush their tongue?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 22, 2006, 10:09:34 PM
My dad is a dentist, and I overheard him saying many young people he sees don't brush their tongue.

WTF?

The tongue determines how your breathe smells. You can brush your teeth all you want, but if you don't get your tongue your mouth will taste/smell like poo. Ugh people.

Brush in a circular motion, paying special attention to your gums and tongue!

We don't brush our tongues nor do we use sponges or cloths while taking showers.

That's definitely good to know.

Some of the things my dad tells me about his younger patients make me want to go ever more asexual than I already am :lol

No, never thought about it. But my gf never complained about bad breath. Maybe because I eat A LOT of fruit...

I gag easily.  :-[

Once in a while, I'll try to brush it, but I end up gagging and my tummy is sensitive.

Oh well.  Mouthwash.

What is with my tongue? I've brushed it every day ever and for some reason there's this white stuff on it for years.

When I went to the dentist the other year he said that my teeth were in better condition than most people my age, and that I had pre-gingivitus! WTF!

Not really, not too often...

But I eat a lot of peach, apples and banana's a day. It really keeps the dentist away.

My next toothbrush will have a "brush the tongue" function though. Cos you'll never know.  :-*

Year-round school.   :gloomy

Not that I physically can't sleep.  I just get a lot of homework, and being the perfectionist that I am, I like to get it done right to the "t".  Meaning I pull a lot of all nighters.   :-\
