Tongue scraper..?!


Question: I have just bought a tongue scraper recently and on the back it says "do not use before brushing teeth."

Does anyone know why?
Thanks. =)

Because if you use the tongue scraper and then brush your teeth, you're getting rid of all the germs when you're spitting out the toothpaste. But if you brush your teeth and THEN use the tongue scraper, then you're just moving around germs. I hope this clears it up for you.

because your tounge will be dry and it will hurt also because after you brush your teeth you have got rid of most bacteria

Maybe the stuff on the tongue will go to the teeth, because once you've brushed your teeth all the food, bacteria etc is eradicated (if you brush for least 2 mins & well) so therefore to use a tongue scraper after brushing will just put that stuff from the tongue to the teeth again, this is ma opinion anyway, i dont know if they are other reasons, you can always use your tooth brush on ya tongue, same thing really, Peace.

i don't see why it would matter... just get as far back as possible
