Scraping tongue --- prevents bad breath?
Answers:
There are many things that cause bad breath. Food particals in stuck in your tongue are known to cause bad breath. I would suggest a tongue scraper. You are very brave using a knife.
Look in the drug store next to the toothbrushes and you'll see a couple of different kinds of tongue scrapers. You can also use a spoon and a larger spoon, like a soup spoon works best. Just place the scraper as far back on your tongue as you can go, press down with light pressure and drag it to the tip of your tongue. You will probably need to do 3 swipes; left, center and right. Rinse with water for 10-15 seconds (such as after your tooth brushing when you are rinsing anyway), scrape your tongue, and then rinse again. The first couple of times you do this, you will be shocked at the gunk that comes out from between the fuzziness on your tongue and it might be a little sore, but (if you are using the right amount of pressure) the quantity will decrease and your tongue will not be sore anymore.
you can buy a tongue scraper at a drug store
and yes your way is not safe
No but most of the sugars in the food you eat not only build up on your teeth but on your gums and can cause really bad breath.It's also known that 99% of bad breath comes from your tongue,so when you brush your teeth make sure to get your tongue with one of those really good toothbrushes.
