My tongue is all white. what is causing that ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thrush : Caused of white tongue vary by underlying health status. If you recently finished an antibiotic treatment, oral thrush maybe the cause. Others are leukoplakia, geographic tongue, oral lichen planus, certain medications, chronic inflammation from dry mouth, dehydration, and others. I recommend you have your tongue checked out by your primary care provider to see if you need treatment.
