Tongue issues: The white color on your tongue can probably be removed with a tongue scraper sold at pharmacies\ supermarkets. However, there are other conditions that cause it that may need dental treatment. If necessary, see your dentist. For the cut, avoid hot and spicy foods, and rinse with salt water. There is not much else that you can do. It should heal quickly. If not, see your dentist.

Scape your tongue. : The white stuff on your tongue is usually a buildup of plaque. You can us a tongue scrapper or brush your tongue regularly with your tooth brush. Tongues generally heal quickly, however you could try using vitamin e and rubbing over the injured area of your tongue.

White patch: White patch could be simple plaque which you can clean by a tongue scraper or a tooth brush. It can also be serious like a yeast infection. First, i would get it checked and then follow the advise of your dentist. There are also mouth rinses that can be prescribed to help with healing of a cut or sore in the mouth.
