    Nobody told me you were supposed to scrape/scrub your tongue when brushing your teeth… and nobody told me about washcloths either. 🫣 My wife put me on to that about a decade ago (so, in my early twenties) so by now it’s just part of my life but yeah…

        It changes things! Sometimes the mouth area is still a bit funky and it’s not the teeth you’ve just brushed but the unclean tongue that’s the issue.

          If I brush my teeth then I’m brushing my tongue and the roof of my mouth too. A few times a year I’ll use a tongue scraper but it’s probably too much.
