Following best methods can prevent the worst bacteria:

• Brushing: After brushing your teeth, you should gently brush your tongue to remove any remaining bacteria, moving the apparatus from back to front.
• Scrapping: Another method that helps tremendously, is to scrape your tongue. Place the scraper on the back of your tongue and gently move it towards the front. Rinse and repeat in this fashion until you have covered the entire area. This method really provides a more intrusive way of disturbing the bacteria snuggled between the papillae on your tongue. Along with practicing excellent oral hygiene, be sure to schedule a semi-annual appointment with your professional dentist for a thorough examination and cleaning, so that your efforts to care for your mouth, teeth, gums and tongue can be maximized. In return, you can expect to enjoy superb oral health for years to come!
