Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I brush my tongue all the way back, the roof of my mouth, the sides of my tongue between my cheeks and gums, between my tongue and gums, this at least 3 times a day and I do it very thoughly and hard with a soft brush, My tongue is still gray and the muscle sticks up further than anything else. Sometime the moisture that comes out is a nasty shade like dried blood. But I do what I gotta.
