I used to have this problem frequently.. Using warm water when using your toothbrush or tounge brush helps.. Colder water will give you the urge to gag more believe it or not.. They also make toothbrushes with a special built in tounge brush on them (usually made by *Reach) or you can buy them individually as a tounge brush on their own.. They are designed specifically to cut down on the horrible "gag factor" and breathing through your nose will also make life easier for you rather than breathing through your mouth..

Good luck! And happy tounge brushing!

Use a proper tongue scraper.. Don't ever use a toothbrush to clean your tongue (unless it's one of those with a proper tongue scraper on the back)..
The bristles can pierce the tongue causing it to swell and you can block your airway.. I have talked with two dentists who warned about this..Health Question & Answer
