Deposit on the Tongue
Since past few months I see a white color like deposit consistently on my tongue . It kind of re-appears quickly even after I wash it thoroughly.
I think it's increasing the bad odour as well .
What could be the reason and what's the suggested treatment?
Thanks,
Prashant
It could be a normal microbial flora,but since u mentioned it smells and reappears very fast ,it looks like some nutritional deficiency or a gastrointestinal disorder on a wider prespective.but to rule out certain oral conditions which affect the tongue its better you consult a dental or oral surgeon.
Next Steps
get it diagnosed and follow the protocol
