Black tongue is a harmless and temporary oral condition.
Black tongue usually occurs due to a buildup of the protein keratin on the tongue’s surface.
However, an overgrowth of bacteria or fungi within the mouth can also cause the tongue to appear black. Black tongue is temporary and tends to clear up without treatment.
Common underlying cause can be
Poor oral hygiene
Drinking coffee or black tea
Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
Recent or prolonged use of antibiotic
Having a weak immune system due to a medical condition, like diabetes or HIV
Next Steps
Maintain oral hygiene.
Povidine iodine gurgle.
