Tongue scraping alternative

[notbotheredthough]

I've tried tongue scraping but I just can't do it because I gag so much. Are there any alternatives that give results as good? I have heard of oil pulling but not sure if that does the same job

Urgh. This is me.

I heard pulling your tongue out can help but didn't make a difference for me.

What do you scrape with? (Sorry appreciate this might not help!)

The back of my toothbrush has a bumpy side that scrubs my tongue while I'm doing my teeth. I've a really strong gag reflex but it's fine

Alot of water and mouthwash perhaps.

I have a strong gag reflex but scraping my tongue doesn't cause me to gag...the only thing I get is a sore tongue if I scrape too hard
You can buy tongue scrapers on Amazon for a few pounds..back of a toothbrush has made me gag but never with a proper tongue scraper

Apparently squeezing your thumb in your fist can reduce your gag reflex. No idea if that's true or an old wive's tale though.

My sister has a tongue cleaning attachment for her water flosser, could that work? It might be gentler than scraping.

Why don't you just use your top teeth to rake your tongue.
