White tongue problems?

Question

I've got this white coating on my tongue, that never goes away. I brush my teeth and use mouth wash two times a day, taking an average of 5-10 minutes. I do not smoke, or drink alcohol. My teeth seem completely healthy, and I sit there scraping my tongue to get this guck off for 15 minutes at a time yet it never goes away? What do I do? What could this be? And do you know any causes or cures?

Answer 1

try scrubing it but not to hard

Answer 2

Well, some people say that when your tongue is white, you tell a lot of lies, but I doubt that is the case. It may be some type of fungus. So you might want to see your dentist about it! Kay? Have you tried like taking your toothbrush with fresh toothpaste on it and rubbing it on your tongue? Or one of the tongue and cheek scrubbing brushes?? It might work.

Hope I helped.

Edit- This could be it, A white, coated tongue is a sign and symptom of what doctors call Oral Thrush. Candidiasis of the mouth and throat, also known as a "thrush" or oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC), is a fungal infection that occurs when there is overgrowth of fungus called Candida. Candida is normally found on skin or mucous membranes. However, if the environment inside the mouth or throat becomes imbalanced, Candida can multiply. People with white tongues may have painless, white patches in their mouths and throats.
