MELLOW,
LOTS OF PEOPLE THINK THAT BRUSHING THE TONGUE IS GOOD. WHAT THEY FAIL T REALIZE IS THAT BRUSHING JUST SPREADS THE BACTERIA FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER.
A BETTER THING TO DO IS SCAPE THE TONGUE TO GET RID OF THE THICK LAYER OF BACTERIA.
WHEN YOU FIRST DO THIS EXPECT TO FIND A THICK COATING ON THE SCARPER. THIS IS PURE BACTERIA AND SALIVA.
SCARPERS CAN BE MADE OUT OF FLEXIBLE PLASTIC RIBBON OR BOUGHT IN THE STORE.
