I used to use an electric toothbrush many years ago but heard it could cause receding gums so its storage. I like manual toothbrushes because you can buy the inexpensive ones and replace them frequently, electric heads are a little pricey to replace. Generally my tongue seems pretty clean but I'm going to get a cheapo tongue scraper and see if I notice any difference. Do you use one of the fancy copper ones or just the standard steel/plastic ones I've seen?

Funny, I got an electric toothbrush at the recommendation of my dentist specifically because of my receding gums, and I've been told they look better but I can't say myself. I just like how much better my teeth feel after using it.

I just have a plastic tongue scraper. It's already enough to scrape my tongue raw if I overdo it, I can't imagine needing a metal one.
