From childhood I never had the habit of cleaning my tongue now when I saw my tongue it is whitish in colour is this due to not cleaning my tongue? How do one know that he had oral thrush please explain.

While brushing your teeth, also use a soft bristle brush to clean your teeth. If finding it difficult, use a small clean soft cloth n try to wipe your tongue. If all this fails, please visit your dentist for a checkup n get necessary treatment take care.

Start cleaning your tongue from now on. It will gradually disappear and if it doesn't or you have any other symptoms related to tongue than you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment and further guidance.
