Tongue Cleaner
Once you start using a Tongue Cleaner daily, you won't look back. It sounds weird, but it feels good - and is seriously addictive. Tongue cleaning can trace its origins to Ayurvedic medicine, a small daily action that can greatly impact your oral and physical health. Use your Tongue Cleaner in the morning before eating or drinking. This helps to reduce the bacteria that goes into your gut from your mouth.

Use a tongue scraper when you wake up and before any food or drink. This is important because cleaning your tongue prevents bacteria from going into your gut. It's best to clean your tongue in the morning and then again in the evening if possible - the morning clean is the most important.
-
No, the tongue scraper is specifically designed to clean the tongue, and the build-up that occurs overnight is removed from your mouth with the cleaner in the u-shaped bend. Brushing does not remove the build-up and bacteria efficiently. While some of it may be removed upon spitting, it still doesn’t give you the same level of cleaning as a specifically designed tongue cleaner does.

Similar to brushing, when you are using the Tongue Scraper it is possible to stimulate the gag reflex.
To avoid this, don't place the tongue scraper too far back on your tongue. When you first start, you may find it helpful to scrape from the middle of your tongue to the tip. You can move further back as you get used to it.
