Yes, it is necessary to clean the tongue as part of your oral hygiene routine. The tongue can harbor bacteria, food debris, and dead cells, which can contribute to bad breath and affect overall oral health. You can use a tongue scraper or the bristles of your toothbrush to gently clean the surface of the tongue from back to front. It is recommended to clean the tongue once a day, preferably in the morning.
