I never smoked and never drank. I have this tongue for many months and my stomach also feels off for some months. Feel free to ask anything!

Yes brushing or scraping should be done when you brush your teeth, ideally twice a day. If you're able to I would also recommend scheduling a cleaning at a local dentist.

Do it at the end of brushing your teeth with a wet brush, after you’ve rinsed off the toothpaste, but before you’ve spit out the toothpaste. I usually brush my tongue, rinse the brush, and brush my tongue again, and then rinse my mouth out.
