But since it is the established practice, and handed down to us by our forefathers/foremothers. We practice it with out any question. Now, what i feel, in order to get the idea that whether yur teeth have been brushed enough to shine, and glow like pearl use yur tongue to feel that yur teeth are cleaned. Since totally blind can't distinguish whether his/her's teeth are yellow, red or white, then, tongue has vital role to play. When I wake up in the morning, and touch my teeth with my tongue I feel ya, something is there. and when i complete brushing for two or three minutes, then touch my teeth with tongue, I sense now its fine, something is gone which was there .
