What White Tongue Is, and What to Do About It
There are many possible causes for white tongue, and in some cases, it comes with an unpleasant odor and mouth dryness. To get rid of it, sometimes you just need to brush your teeth. But what should you do if that doesnβt help?
β This article is for informative purposes only and canβt replace the advice of a specialist.
What white tongue is

The white film may cover the entire tongue, part of it, or appear as spots. At the same time, an unpleasant odor and taste in the mouth may appear. It looks as if there are small white hairs on the tongueβs surface. In fact, they are buds covered with organic particles, bacteria, and dead cells.
White plaque on the tongue (which can also be yellow) may appear for different reasons, like due to irritation or because of an infection. It usually disappears after several days. If the situation doesnβt change for several weeks, and itβs painful to eat and talk, itβs best to see a doctor.
Itβs important to note that the plaque may not only be white. While a pink tongue is normal, a brown tongue means the person drinks too much coffee or tea. A yellow tongue means thereβs something wrong with the liver, and a red tongue is a sign that the person lacks vitamin B.
Why the tongue becomes white

Usually, the tongue becomes white due to bacteria, leftover bits of food, or dead cells that get stuck in between the buds. Because of this, the buds may increase in size or become inflamed. This is how white spots on the tongueβs surface appear.
Sometimes, the plaque appears due to an illness. For example, the geographic tongue is also a condition where white spots appear on the tongue. Itβs quite rare, and the causes are unknown, but the condition itself is often connected to eating foods that irritate the tongue. It may also be a reaction to stress, an illness, or hormonal changes.
Why white plaque appears on the tongue

There are some things that make the appearance of white plaque on the tongue more probable:
- Age
- Taking antibiotics (white-yellow plaque appearing when thereβs aΒ fungal infection inΒ the mouth)
- AΒ diet thatβs lacking enough fruits, vegetables, vitamin B12, and iron
- AΒ weak immune system
- Bad mouth hygiene
- Dental prosthetics orΒ other objects that can damage the tongue
- Dehydration and mouth dryness
What piercings have to do with white tongue

Right after piercing the tongue, there might be some white film present. This happens because the number of bacteria on the tongue increases, and itβs normal. Antibacterial mouthwash will help you get rid of it. Plus, there might be a ring around the piercings, which is normal too, and it means the tissue is healing.
If the plaque appears due to an injury (including piercings), the healing should take around 1.5 weeks. You should avoid irritants, such as hot, spicy, or sour foods and drinks.
How to get rid of white tongue at home

- PracticeΒ goodΒ mouth hygiene.
- Drink enough water.
- Brush your teeth using aΒ soft toothbrush.
- Use aΒ mild fluoride toothpasteΒ β one that doesnβt contain sodiumΒ lauryl sulfate.
- Use fluoride mouthwash.
- Brush your tongue orΒ use aΒ tongue scraper toΒ remove the white coating.
- Drink cold drinks through aΒ straw.
- Avoid food and drinks that are spicy, salty, acidic, orΒ very hot inΒ temperature.
Who to talk to if youβre worried about your white tongue

- Your dentistΒ canΒ helpΒ you remove the white film from the tongue and prescribe medications ifΒ needed.
- Your GPΒ can diagnose the tongue, prescribe you certain medications and determine ifΒ the white tongue isΒ anΒ indicator ofΒ aΒ more serious issue.
