You can use a normal toothbrush to gently clean the tongue, but a tongue scraper is preferred if coating is present. Since the coating is high on the back of the tongue, it is best to clean as far backwards as possible. To prevent gag reflex, it is better to pull the tongue out with a gauze pad for cleaning.
