How to remove the white coating from my tongue? I applied sea salt (as seen in a youtube video) on my tongue for two weeks and did not notice anything.

White coating on tongue can be keratin deposits, or with superadded fungal infection or something else too. Clean the tongue only gently, aggressive cleaning can aggravate the problem. Better to get it diagnosed from a dentist.

White coating on tongue forms routinely, use of a mild tongue scraper or gentle brushing using your toothbrush daily will help.
