Some toothbrushes have a tongue-scraping thing on the opposite side of the bristles.

I guess I didn't know that was necessary. What's the reasoning?

A lot of mouth bacteria lives on your tongue. Any dentist will tell you that cleaning your tongue is an important part of oral hygiene, even though it's often overlooked. Doing it really helps with keeping bad breath under control and generally healthier teeth.
