Peak Essentials | The Original Tung Gel | Premium | Tongue Cleaner | Odor Eliminator | Fight Bad Breath | Fresh Mint | BPA Free | Made in America | (1 Count with Sample Gel)

I've had issues with my tongue for a long time. My taste buds and papillae tend to grow longer than normal, allowing bacteria to hide and grow, and causing bad breath. Normal toothbrushes are inadequate to properly clean my tongue, as they cannot reach as far back as I need. Regular tongue scrapers also do not seem to do much for me. So, when I first saw the Tung Brush and Tung Gel here on Amazon, I was a bit skeptical. But not for long! After trying this for a few days, I realized this thing works amazingly well. The brush is the perfect size and shape to reach toward the back of the tongue without gagging. The gel rinses off the tongue really well - better than normal toothpaste - and cleans well. After a couple of weeks using the brush and gel, my tongue was looking better than ever, and my breath seemed fresher and cleaner (at least according to my wife and children). Added to normal tooth brushing and flossing, it will go a long way to improving oral health - that has been my case for sure. Highly recommended!

Best tongue brush I've tried. No toothbrush can compete & scrapers are too rough/painful. The Original TUNG brush is terrific at removing gross bacteria, gunk, post nasal drip, & discoloration. If I don't use it for awhile, I am acutely aware of icky tastes left behind.I only got a tiny sample of the TUNG paste, but recall it being better than regular toothpaste (although use it if you don't have TUNG brand paste).Personally, I mix some mouthwash with a hint (no more than 1/4 cap peroxide) swish in mouth leaving plenty on tongue to soak the TUNG brush & moving front to back motions most effective at pulling up & removing all gunk. Rinse brush in HOT water 2-3x during to remove everything. Finally, I wash brush with hot soapy water before storing. Also, I learned the hard way, be gentle as the specially designed stiff tight short bristles could cause bleeding if too vigorous. Remember, it's not a toothbrush, thus requires far less pressure & you'll be good. Your tongue, taste buds, & breath will thank you!I've luckily NEVER suffered halitosis, but now that I've had the TUNG brush & taste the difference, I'd never go without it!

It is a ok tongue brush have to really brush softly because it can make your tongue bleed if not the brush is a little hard for the tongue they should make them a little softer for the tongue

I had been struggling with that white tongue coating for years, and then it turned yellow after using a mouthwash that contains hydrogen peroxide! Brushing my tongue with a toothbrush and using a tongue scraper helped some, but not completely. After a certain point, the tongue scraper just seemed to glide over the gunk I wanted to remove. But the bristles of the Tung brush were just hard enough and just narrow enough to actually scrub off the remaining gunk without damaging my tongue! I haven't tried the gel that it comes with, but this little $5 brush probably saved me hundreds in a dental consultation!

Bought this brush and Dr. Tung's Products: Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner to try them against each other and against a regular toothbrush. I tried cleaning my tongue 2-3x a day, alternating between each method, for a couple of weeks. Nothing too terribly scientific.Regular Toothbrush: Okay. Been using it for years, no complaints.Tongue Cleaner: Okay seems to do about the same job as the regular toothbrush. Only drawbacks - have to rinse the gross gunk off of the blade after each use and find a place to store it in an already overcrowded sink area.Tongue Brush: Wowwy, wow, wow, wow. This thing really gets your tongue clean!** Even "Ol' Dragon Breath", A.K.A. my SO (Significant Other), has reasonable breath after using this brush. Definite difference between this and a regular toothbrush. The Tongue Brush gets into all the nooks and crannies between the buds, making your mouth feel FRESH after a brush. Rinses easily. Stores easily. Love it so much I bought 4 Pack - TUNG Brush - Tongue Cleaner for use elsewhere (cottage, Disney Owner's Lockers, travel, etc.)**I also experienced a slight amount of bleeding after each of the first few uses. I was a bit surprised, because up until the Tongue Brush, I had already been using a plain ol' toothbrush on my tongue regularly. No biggie. Didn't hurt, just unsettling.

Been using this brush and the gel for at least 12 years and I have zero bad breath issues.When you first use it, it will irritate your tongue and you might even lose some taste for a better part of they day. It's not bad or anything, it's just your tongue getting used to it. I use it every other day and I have no irritation. They key is to use it with front to back strokes and NOT circular strokes as their is no added benefit scrubbing your tongue. All you want to do get that film off the top and you can do that with about five seconds worth of front to back motion. Also, use a pea-sized amount of the gel; don't skimp on that.As far as how long to use it, I personally don't think you need to swap these out every three months or so. Just use your judgment on the sanitary condition of the brush and the environment. I've been using the same brush for about a year now and it still looks like new.One piece of advice I do want to share with you is that diet is a huge component of bad breath/morning breath and overall mouth freshness. When I stick to my low-carb, high protein clean diet, you can tell the difference with how your mouth feels in the morning compared to a night of eating pepperoni pizza and coke. So ideally, use the TUNG brush and gel and also make sure your diet is good. With both of those things, I think you will see the best results.
