Tongue colors: A dentist or ENT doctor will be helpful if you want to see if the color pattern indicates any abnormalities. Doctors who have studied in eastern medical practice may be trained to look for signs of other organs' ailments way before other more obvious conditions surface, by carefully looking at your tongue. Who to see first depends on your expectation from professionals, and what you want to find.
