How do i clean my tongue when it has all that white stuff on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can scrap it but: The real question is why is the tongue white. It may be due to yeast infection. You can ask your physician, dentist , dermatologist or an ENT physician to get the correct diagnosis and therapy.
