Does the yellow plauqe on my tounge relate to smoking?

Yes: Normally smoking covers the teeth and the tongue with a yellow stain from the nicotine in the cigarettes . We normally brush the tongue and the guns when we brush the teeth.

Contributes to it: Yellow tongue is a benign condition which occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce pigments which cause the tongue to develop a yellow coating. The taste buds become swollen, creating a rough surface which allows bacteria to adhere & build up pigment. Some common yellow tongue causes include poor oral hygiene, certain medications, dehydration, mouth breathing. Alcohol, tobacco products, & coffee.
