I think I'm good with not brushing my tongue

Alright, if you wanna keep your germs and have infections at any time, that's up to you
But really, at least try that oil thing? I don't know exactly what it is, but I imagine it wouldn't make anyone gag

Actually, oil pulling, as some call it (I always call it mouth wash wih coconut oil, tbh), can make you gag on the first times, but I've been doing it for so many years I don't even remember if made me gag in the beginning. I know it cleans my mouth like a regular 3 minutes brushing. It kinda pulls out all the junk between our teeth and gums. And it's refreshing af.

Some people use it to cure hangovers and headaches as well!

It's literally a sin to eat pizza with a fork

How do you do that?

[Chameleon]

1. Summer 1 -2, every other day all other seasons

2. 3 to 4 times a day

3. Knife & Fork

4. Knife & Fork because I don't do buns

5. Everyday

6. Weekly

How do you do that?

 

I just use it like everyone uses their mouth wash! It's basically the same but better (as long as you're sure the oil has a good quality and it's natural).

Oh, interesting. So why does it make people gag the first times?

It's probably because of the surprise effect. Oil kinda... grows in your mouth lol. And after a while you know it has all kinds of crap in it and saliva production helps it grow even more. It makes a sort of detox on your mouth.

It's not good to swallow, obviously. That makes you puke, believe me xD

I see hahaha but why would you swallow it? It would defeat the purpose of killing the bacteria, if you're just gonna let them inside xD

Because I'm fucking nuts.

I had that thing in my mouth for 5 minutes and I thought "how bad would it be if I swallow it?", and I had to do it.

Having a mouth full of oil isn't exactly pleasant, and it's recommended that you keep it in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. Also, when the temperature is cooler and the coconut oil is solidified, you kind of have to let it melt in your mouth before you can start swishing it around like mouthwash. I think that was the worst part for me when I first tried oil pulling. You do get get used to it, but I don't do it regularly enough, so I still gag from time to time.

Yeah, I've done a bit of searching and saw that. The time is definitely unpleasant, but the good thing about Brazil (at least Rio) is that the room temperature is high enough to make it stay in the liquid state, so that's one problem gone
I might try doing it for a week to see how it goes.

[Frizzle]

I brush mine so far back to where my gag reflex shouldstart lol.
It's my fav part.

Ha

[Shannon]

I brush my tongue a lotttt. It looks hella gross when peoples tongues are white with residue so I like to avoid that lol. Also I have like little to no gag reflex so it works out. I can't imagine trying to do that with bad reflex

[HiMyNameIsNick]

I don't clean my tongue. *gags*

For the same reason you use it to eat other stuff.

I'm being discriminated for using fork and knife. NOT COOL.

Normal people eat pizza with their hands though ;-; Like I've never seen someone go to a pizza store and ask for a knife and fork to eat their pizza

But other stuff is different pizza has crust for a reason ;-;

Look at it this way you're the 9% of people who eat with a knife and fork :3

1. ​How many showers you take a day? Once a day/24 hour period unless I am trying to fix my shower schedule then I skip a shower in the night and do it the next morning
2. How often do you brush your teeth? Do you brush them at work/school? 2 times a day often when I leave the house for the day (in the case of work/school) then at night. I dont pack a tooth brush to go for work/school though
3. Do you eat pizza with fork and knife or barehanded? Barehanded like a savage but I leave the crusts behind like a merciful lady
4. What about hamburgers? Do you hold it with a napkin or with your bare hands? Bare hands or with the wrapper (fast food) it comes in depending on if I'm in the car or at home eating
5. How often do you change your underwear? On the daily, I can't stand not wearing underwear or wearing dirty underwear
6. How often do you change your body towel? Usually weekly

Idk how you guys can manage to clean your tongues so much. I usually do it when I brush my teeth but that gag reflex. I usually hope that a rinse with mouthwash/water helps.
