Why does my tounge have white on it?!
Question: I brush my teeth and tounge every night!
Answers: I brush my teeth and tounge every night!
Coating of the tongue usually reflects a more systemic concern rather than a local process just affecting the mouth. In serious illnesses in which a person may be immuno-suppressed, a whitish coating can be evidence for infections such as thrush, which is due to the fungus, Candida albicans.
Candida is almost universally present but produces problems when the host's immune system is weakened. Thrush is diagnosed when the white patches on the tongue are scraped off and the underlying red tissue bleeds slightly. If this is the case, I recommend you see your family physician or dermatologist.
More commonly, a coated tongue reflects some weakness in your digestive power. According to Ayurveda, the ancient healing system from India, a coated tongue is an expression of ama.
This Sanskrit word means "undigested residue" and is a manifestation of the accumulation of toxins in the physiology. Some of the causes include consumption of toxic foods and substances, emotional stress, recent surgery, chemotherapy or antibiotic treatment.
From an herbal perspective, the first approach worth trying is to
rinse your mouth with aloe vera juice four times a day. First swirl
about a tablespoon in your mouth, spit it out and then drink a
tablespoon so you are receiving four tablespoons internally. Try this for two weeks.
An Ayurvedic herb worth knowing is Neem (Azadirachta indica). This is one of Ayurveda's most potent blood purifiers. Make a decoction by boiling a tablespoon of Neem leaves in a cup of water until the volume is reduced in half. Gargle and swish.
Gently cleaning your tongue when you brush your teeth provides an assessment of your current level of ama. You are not going to eliminate ama by cleaning your tongue, but you should notice
progressive improvement as you engage in life and heart purifying practices.

Well from what i have read...your tongue may be white because it has a bacterial infection on it or something lyk that lol....haha it's also a sign that u might be getting sick :(....check it out on google ;)

Could be a form of yeast infection. It could also be something called Thrush. You need antibiotics, and you can try eating some yogurt for instant relief.
Good luck

do you use bleaching stuff or crest whitestrips to make your teeth whiter...? some of the solution might have gotten stuck to your tongue. Happened to me on my fingers and went a way soon.
the white stuff is bacteria and it makes your breath smell really bad( i have it too)
its just the chemical's your body creates through the night to keep your tounge moisturized some peoples bodies just create more chemicals.
since I have the same problem so I asked my dentist and he said the same thing that I just said
hope this helps
Your tongue has white on it because it's a sign of having bad bacteria in your digestive system.
Try some probiotic good bacteria in your diet to balance it out.
Is this something new? If so, it could be an allergic reaction or a virus.
