## Guides
- [Step-by-Step Tongue Scraping](https://how-to-use-a-tongue-scraper.xybupo.workers.dev/tongue-scraper-steps/): The tongue scraper steps are simple: rinse the tool, place it toward the back of a relaxed tongue, draw it forward with light pressure, rinse it, and repeat.
- [Metal vs Plastic Scrapers](https://how-to-use-a-tongue-scraper.xybupo.workers.dev/metal-vs-plastic-scraper/): A metal vs plastic scraper comparison comes down to rigidity, edge feel, durability and personal comfort rather than one being better.
- [Tips for a Sensitive Gag Reflex](https://how-to-use-a-tongue-scraper.xybupo.workers.dev/gag-reflex-tips/): These gag reflex tips center on staying relaxed, starting well forward on the tongue and moving back a little at a time.
- [How Often to Scrape](https://how-to-use-a-tongue-scraper.xybupo.workers.dev/how-often-scrape-tongue/): Most adults who use a tongue scraper do it once a day, usually in the morning as part of their routine, and that is plenty.
- [Using the Back of a Toothbrush](https://how-to-use-a-tongue-scraper.xybupo.workers.dev/tongue-toothbrush-backs/): If you do not own a scraper, the back of a toothbrush can do a modest job of cleaning the tongue, though it works differently than a scraper.
