The tongue cleaner includes an elongated generally straight scraping member terminated at each end by grip structures. The scraping member is constructed of a flexible and resilient material allowing the scraping member to be bendable from its generally straight configuration into at least a curved shape, ‘C’ shape, ‘V’ shape or ‘U’ shape configuration. The scraping member resiliently returns to its straight configuration in the absence of any bending forces. The flexible and resilient material is preferably a plastic, silicone, rubber, metal, wood or a combination of such materials. The preferred material is silicone rubber.
