brush your tongue
Yes, you really do need to brush your tongue as well as your teeth.
You can get a nasty, smelly build up on your tongue that not only looks bad, it can smell like the bottom of a birdcage.
If you suffer from tonsil stones or post nasal drip, you may want to buy a tongue scraper and gently scrape the build up off your tongue before you brush your tongue for maximum cleaning and anti bacteria effect.
Don’t be too rough or hasty with the tongue scraper; the idea is the brush the detritus off the tongue, not take the top layer of skin off it!
