A member asked:
Can you tell me about experiencing furry-tongue and halitosis and recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy resolution: Furry or hairy tongue results from not cleaning the surface of your tongue daily. Bacteria grow on the tongue and can cause halitosis. Treatment involves brushing the surface of the tongue several times a day, rinsing with warm salt water or listerine. There is minimal pain associated with this
