If your tongue is white, this is a clear sign that you are suffering from…

• The white coating lasts more than two weeks.
• You experience pain, burning, or difficulty swallowing.
• You notice red patches, sores, or bleeding.
• You have a weakened immune system or an underlying health condition.

Treatment and Prevention

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene – Brush your tongue daily and use an antibacterial  mouthwash.
• Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water to prevent dry mouth.
• Avoid Tobacco and Alcohol – These can irritate the tongue and contribute to white patches.
• Eat a Balanced Diet – Nutrient deficiencies can impact oral health.
• Visit Your Dentist Regularly – Routine check-ups can help identify and treat oral health issues early.

If your tongue remains white despite good hygiene, it may be a sign of an underlying condition that requires medical attention.
