Do you scrape your tongue? (lemmy.zip)

I've been doing this for years but my friends were utterly baffled when they found out. I have a cheap, copper plated tongue scraper from a knick-knack store and it does the job beautifully, virtually eliminating morning breath.

I think gargling with warm salt water is the best way to do it, just don't use a water floss, trust me!

    I feel like gargling doesn't let the liquid actually reach my tonsils, like I close my throat too much. Maybe it does more than I think.

    I was just about to put water flossing them on my todo list, haha! Why not?

    Me too, gargling doesn't really hit the sweet spot, but that's what my doctor told me to do.

    Water flossing, for me, felt like someone was stabbing my throat and was way too harsh on it, it was sore for a few days afterwards. Not a fun experience!
