Brush teeth first or use tongue cleaner first?

Question

Both seem to spread things around, so which is better to do first. I use a seperate tongue cleaner, but I'm guessing most people use their toothbrush to clean their tongue. The only thing I could find on wikipedia on this is:

Answer 1

A VERY GOOD THING TO DO IS THINK ABOUT THE ORDER OF HOW THINGS HAPPEN:

1.FIRST, YOU BRUSH - REMOVING MOST OF THE BACTERIA FROM THE GUMS AND TEETH.

2.SECOND, YOU SCRAPE THE TONGUE WHICH IS FULL OF BACTERIA. BRUSHING THE TONGUE ONLY PUSHED THE BACTERIA FROM SIDE TO SIDE..

3.THIRD, FLOSS TO REMOVE THE FOOD/BACTERIA BETWEEN YOUR TEETH.

4.FOURTH, RINSE W/LISTERINE OR CREST PRO-HEALTH.

AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Answer 2

you want to sweep your tongue thats the position most of the micro organism accumulates contained in the mouth. a lot of human beings gag from this that's regularly occurring...yet brushing your tongue is major for reliable oral hygene now to not indicate better breath. reliable good fortune!

Answer 3

Brush, scrape tongue, floss, brush again.

Answer 4

if you use a tongue-scraper it doesn't matter what do you do first. Brush, scrape, floss, rinse or Scrape, floss, brush, rinse.. as long as you rinse last and do it at least twice a day

Answer 5

Yep, brush your tongue first, rinse and then brush teeth.
