Answer 1

i dont have that. doesnt really sound great. go to the dentist.

oh & ps - if you want a dental professional to answer, call your dentist. dont post your question on yahoo answers...... common sense

Answer 2

I am no professional, but I do have an idea....

It could be as simple as a stain, drinking tea, coffee, sodas, etc.. will stain your tongue. Smoking will too.

Answer 3

It's a fungus. I have it too. use a solution of peroxide and water 1/2 and 1/2 and rinse about 3 times a day. Especially before bed. My doctor said he had it too and his is gone. It does go away eventually.
