  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Reducing oral cancer!

Hey guy's! what's up? what's down? (NOT in that way!, i have gotten that a few times). Hope everyone is awesome, as usual! xD

I have a very interesting "news" here... I was reading an article 'bout tongue's and got to a point where it said "stains", it talked 'bout how medicine, food and tobacco (chewing and smoking tobacco) stains your tongue and that you should clean your tongue AFTER smoking or chewing tobacco! Make sure your tongue is back to a pink-ish and not brown-ish, like that you'll know that you got it off your tongue...

Hope this is useful for you guy's...
Love you all! :smokingbo

That makes sense. I almost always brushmy teeth and rinse my mouth afterwards. It may not reduce cancer risks but it helps keep your mouth from tasting and smelling like crap.:bouncetau

I use a tongue scraper and tongue spray to clean my tongue every night as part of my before-going-to-bed oral hygiene.

I don't do it for anti-cancer reasons tho; I do it because my wife says I have to. :lady:

Hahahahaha!... well... if she's no cigar fan then she has all the right to make you do that, hahaha.
I mean... long time ago, i had a bf that smoked cigarettes and i just hated the taste and the smell, i obligated him to buy 100000000000 mints, it's just not right :barf:

I use tounge scrapper every time I brush me teeth. I somehow can gather dirt there too easily, and it can look bloody nasty if I don't clean me tongue often.

Actually, she *IS* a cigar fan. She even smokes them herself on occasion (and has 20+ sticks stored in my humi).

But regardless of her being a fan or not, she still has the right to make me
use the tongue scraper.

Why?

Because I like the

Weird as it is I use a plastic butter knife as a tongue scraper since I use Swedish snus more often than I do smoking cigars but i do agree Alc is a good cleaner in most cases

Does a scraper do more than brushing your tongue? I always brush my tongue when i'm brushing my teeth, but have never even heard of a tongue scraper.

oral cancer is primarily linked to the HPV virus...so tongue scrapper or no, probably won't matter

That's true for cervical cancer and some ovarian cancers...I don't believe HPV is the primary cause of oral cancer. But my wife's the OB/GYN, not me, so I'll ask her when she get's home :)
