hairy tongue and cleaning it Posted: 12-23-07 22:09pm
edit - i think what im talking about is
the "papillae" but im clueless so...
i don't think i have a "hairy tongue", but
its like hair in a way. its almost as if
my taste buds are up or something? the
best example i can think of, is when your
petting a dog or a cat, and you go against
their fur, it sort of stands up, and if
you go the opposite direction, its pushed
back down and is flat again. if i push my
brush towards the back of my mouth, the
taste buds, hairy tongue, whatever it is,
lays flat. if i pull the brush towards the
tip of my tongue, they all stand up as if
you were going against your pets fur.
i dont think i have hairy tongue based on
the google images pictures, and maybe what
ive gots normal? i dont exactly want to
ask someone "can i examine your tongue? so
yeah... and whats the best way to clean my
tongue? buy a tongue scraper annndd any
special toothpaste i should use or
somthing?
thanks

the best way to clean your tounge is with
your toothbrush without toothpaste because
its chemicals can damage your taste buds
there are toothbrush that have tounge
cleaners like colgate 360 that you can use
it too .tounge scrapes can be use too .
the thing is that whatever you decide to
use dont scrape too hard because papilla
keraitinized with constant friction and
tounge can get white because of ir
