Oral Hygiene INCLUDES your tongue…

A good indication of a healthy tongue is a uniform pink coloring with no deeper red, yellow or white discoloration. But, if you find a white film coating on the topside, Mayo Clinic confirms it shouldn’t be a cause for alarm, and is usually temporary. This film is a mix of bacteria, dead cells and food debris, making your tongue appear white as a result. Rest assured proper tooth brushing and flossing can help clear up the problem!
