Can't say for sure but they say it's a healthy thing to do.

use a tongue scraper...and wash your hands.

ive never heard that before but now i wanna try it

maybe.

Brushing my tongue makes me sick! lol

not really much of a difference. the difference is the fact that your breath wont stink as much if you brush your tounge.

idk but your breath will be better

You know, i've heard that before, but i have never believed it. It sounds to me like an old wives tale. Like, "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away." How can that be?

I don't know about that, but I've heard it's a good thing to do because it helps get rid of bacteria and germs and all of that.

Don't know if it makes a difference with sick. But it makes your tongue cleaner!

A little less.. but don't brush to hard too many times or you can lose some yaste buds

well, you will be less likely to get hairy tongue from extreme taste bud growth.... but i highly HIGHLY doubt that there is any connection between tongue brushing and overall health.

probably you are getting rid of more germs

Your breath will definitely be better. Most of the bacteria in the mouth live on the tongue. I guess it is possible to aspirate some of the bacteria into the lungs...

Get a tongue scraper...they usually work better and they're much less likely to gag you! : )

Sick less ???? better breath definitely. Sounds like a good idea for all of us to do more regularly.

Theoretically that's true. It's supposed to help eliminate bacteria and other germs.

Uhh no.. but I guess it would kind of keep your tounge cleaner and have less germs... I dno

Dunna know ... maybe. Years ago my dentist told me to do it ... mainly it will help prevent you from having bad breath.

Absolutely! The tongue holds a lot of bacteria (though not all bad), that get ingested and also can contribute to tooth decay as well. The best way to avoid getting sick though is to wash your hands and avoid (whenever possible), making direct contact with other peoples germy hands!

i dont tink it will help but ok

I have heard some dentists claim that this to be the case, as well as a few doctors. Me, I have my doubts. Consider innoculations: (shots) if they really work, why are there more and more diseases and even deadlier diseases?

I don't know about that, but if you change your toothbrush every three months you will get sick less often. Also, instead of having your toothbrush hang out with everyone else's, you should get your own plastic-travel-toothbrush holder to keep it in.

wtf, I've never heard of that. I do know that brushing your tongue is important because it majorly reduces mouth bacteria and bad breath, so DO IT!!!

It will help with removing bacteria from your mouth. and will help keep your breath and mouth fresher.

Yes, You have particles from your food that lays in your mouth during the nights especially and by brushing your tongue often you are covering all sources of your mouth and getting these germs out. It also helps for bad breath.

I doubt it. But, it cleans your tongue. If you've noticed, you get yellowii stuff (SICK!) on your tongue in the morning, or some type of ickkkkk. Or, maybe for you its after you eat, or when you havent opened your mouth in a long time. So, brushing it gets rid of the gunk - and - that's healthy right? Hope I helped! Pick me 4 best answer plz!

Come to think of it; I starting brushing my tongue daily for the past 2 years and I have gotten sick much less. I don't know if it is correlated and I have never read a study on it, but it might have something to do with me getting sick less. I do know my breath is much, much better when I brush my tongue along with my teeth, gums and the roof of my mouth ...

no, because if u stick the brush in 2 far, ull be sick.

SCRAPING IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BRUSHING WHICH ONLY PUSHES THE BACTERIA ALL OVER THE TONGUE.
YOUR HEALTH WILL NOT BE THAT IMPROVED, BUT YOUR BREATH WILL IMPROVE.

Rather than brushing your tongue you should scrape it with a tongue scraper, It will be good for your breath and make your overall mouth hygeine better :)
