A member asked:
I have noticed that after i brush my teeth my tongue appears to be blue/purple. what does this mean?

Blue/purple tongue: Sorry, but nothing comes to mind and it does sound unusual. I assume we are not talking about seeing some surface veins but a generalized blue/purple coloration? You would and should have to see a local dentist to pursue the cause of this finding.
