I've been told by tv and trashy magazines that in this day and age, merely brushing our teeth is not sufficient to stop the squillions of evil bacteria in our mouth from devouring our teeth - it is imperative that we brush our tongues as well. One of the toothpaste brands is now no longer a toothpaste - it's a whole mouth paste. Wow!
Having a particularly dirty mouth today (after eating the greatest ice cream in the world earlier and biscuits all afternoon), I decided to try out the mouth brushing concept. But it didn't work. Brushing my tongue caused it to reflexively curl up (and not die).. it didn't enjoy the sensation in the slightest!
So what now? I may have to take up flossing and gargling, in an effort to make up for my lack of tongue brushing... or I could somehow condition my tongue, using desensitisation techniques. Or maybe someone makes a tonguebrush for sensitive tongues.
