Maybe.: The coloration at the back of your tongue may be diet-related. If you eat deeply colored foods such as spinach, blueberries, etc., they can stain the tongue. The green may also be bacterial or fungal overgrowth. The smartest thing to do is see your dentist for examination and diagnosis of what the cause may be.
