First, I try rinsing with water. Next I use my finger or a toothbrush with soft bristles.

Rinse and then brush. Always with a soft bristle toothbrush so as not to damage your gums.

When I brush my teeth I also gently brush my gums, and if it doesn’t gag me too badly, I quickly run my toothbrush across my tongue. You should brush your whole mouth – it cleans out “gunk” and stimulates blood flow. And @chyna‘s right – a soft brush is what dentists recommend.

Really?

Ask the Fire Department come and hose them down.

Oxpeckers in winter, Ramona’s in summer. Which is the same answer for for your upcoming Q about the e it situation.

Ugh, typos…”remoras”. And “exit” situations.

If I’m out, I go to the bathroom and put warm water in my mouth and swish it around and spit it out. If I’m home, I do the same and then I brush my teeth.

Sounds like a personal problem with which I can offer no solution other than general oral hygiene.
