3. Oral Hygiene
While I don’t mean to cast aspersions, you may have tongue that appears white owing to poor oral hygiene. This might not mean that you aren’t trying to look after your teeth and your gums – but simply that you may be making falling short of doing this as well as you could do. Maybe you aren’t brushing regularly enough, or maybe you are forgetting to scrape your tongue at the end?
This is actually one of the most important things you need to do when brushing your teeth: it will help you to remove any bacteria that might remain on your tongue, as well as to clean away sugars and acids that can likewise cause problems. It’s not all about your teeth – oral hygiene means keeping your whole mouth clean. In fact, you can even buy toothbrushes with specific ‘tongue scrapers’ included for this very purpose.
