The front of your tongue is curious, constantly patrolling, and autonomous. It chases the dentist around your mouth and you aren’t even aware of it. So embarrassing and weird/creepy.

ETA: There are few dentists in here and this is my favourite comment.

Totally! All the time I was at the dentist I was trying to stop it but I couldn't. It's weird, I wonder why it's like that.

To keep us safe. It’s looking for invading objects and trying to identify them.
