yes it is good for you to brush your tounge because it helps you have good breath and it also cleans all the bacteria and bad stuff off of it and then that way once your teeth are clean you dont have a nasty dirty tounge rubbing all the bacteria all over the clean teeth.

It's *not* important to brush your tongue, especially not if you brush after every meal.
But as some other people have already pointed out, it will keep your breath fresh just a little bit longer.
Personally, sometimes I just *have* to brush my tongue because sometimes it looks really gross. I think it is fat on the tastebuds or something odd like that.

Yes. The majority of bad breath germs reside on the tongue. Be sure to clean your toothbrush well afterwords. Have a great tongue day.

Yes. The bacteria that causes tooth decay is present on your tongue too. As are microscopic bits of the things you eat. If you are ridding your teeth of these and not your tongue, your tongue will just redeposit them. Don't you think?

Yes it is, that way you get rid of the bacteria that accumulates there. Go to the Store and purchase a Tongue scrapper it is meant for that.

I think the general concensus says yes, it's beneficial to brush your tongue.

Yes, it sure is. Bacteria love to live and multiply on your tongue so this is a good way to remove them.
