Chronic white coating on tongue.

2025-05-21 00:11:25
I’ve been experiencing a chronic white coating on my tongue every morning, along with a change in taste. I regularly clean my tongue with a tongue scraper and use Betadine mouthwash, but I’m still not satisfied with the results. How can I get rid of this problem permanently?
