OK have you ever taken a look at how white peoples tongues can be? Well I cannot help it when I see two people in banners and pictures etc.. on the internet and see them tonguing each other one with a really red tongue and the other with this really white tongue. It just makes me quiver. Well anyways the question is do you brush your tongue when you are brushing your teeth?
I also found this on the internet for your information as well.
Tongue and
Throat Collect
Bacteria Saliva from nearby glands drips down on the posterior region of the tongue, which is full of irregularities where bacteria love to hide. The anaerobic bacteria (bacteria which thrive without oxygen) break down specific components (amino acids) of the saliva, creating certain gases or VSCs. These VSCs have been implicated as a major contributing factor to halitosis.If your Tongue has a white coating, this is evidence of excessive anaerobic bacteria buildup
Clean Your Tongue Anaerobic bacteria thrive in the fissures and mucous layer of the tongue, sometimes creating a visible whitish layer. They live safe from oxygen under a protective layer of mucous, food particles and proteins . Tongue cleaners can remove this layer and much of the bacteria which resides on your tongue.One of the easiest and most efficient treatments for halitosis is mechanical debridement. This means thorough, regular flossing and brushing of your teeth and your tongue. A tongue scraper can be very helpful as well. When using a tongue scraper, it is best to clean as far back on the tongue as possible, starting from the back and moving toward the front. This scraping motion is done several times in row
Diet Many foods (ie: Dairy) contribute to the ability of bacteria to create VLCs.Very spicy foods, such as onions and garlic, and coffee may be detected on a person's breath for up to 72 hours after digestion. Onions, for example, are absorbed by the stomach and the odor is then excreted through the lungs. Studies even have shown that garlic rubbed on the soles of the feet can show up on the breath.
Acids in foods such as coffee decrease oxygenation and can cause this bacteria to thrive.
