Specializes in General Practice

Possible causes of white hairy tongue are poor oral hygiene, chronic or extensive use of antibiotics, the use of medications, radiation treatment to the head & neck area, excessive coffee or tea drinking, or use of tobacco. Generally good oral hygiene with a toothbrush &/or tongue scraper will resolve this problem. If it persists please see your dentist. I wish you well with your health!
