Clean Your Tongue, Not Just Your Teeth

The best electric toothbrush isn’t really the best tool for cleaning your tongue, and while taking care of your teeth is obviously paramount, your tongue plays a key role in the bad breath you’re trying to combat.

Tongue scrapers are self-explanatory, they scrape the layer of grossness (and bacteria) off your tongue, and eliminate bad breath in the process. I’ve used the double-bladed Gum Tongue Cleaner for as long as I can remember (because two blades), but there are also two-handed models and a stainless steel option if you want to avoid plastic.
