How do i get rid of the black taste buds on my tongue?

Black taste buds: Have you been on an antibiotic. If so black color should disappear as you come off the medication. Contact whoever prescribed the antibiotic to report this issue. If not on antibiotic, please see your Dentist ASAP for examination.

Maybe okay, but...: The tongue is known to have many variations with pigmenting, size, appearance, & not always due to disease. However, first (if applicable in your case), stop using tobacco. Second, have your doctor check your tongue for any concerning pigmented lesions.
