Causes of White Tongue and Their Significance

A white tongue can be caused by various factors, and its appearance can indicate different underlying issues. One common cause is dehydration and dry mouth. When the mouth doesn’t produce enough saliva, bacteria can thrive, leading to a white coating on the tongue. Another common culprit is smoking and alcohol consumption. These habits can irritate the tongue and disrupt the natural balance of bacteria, resulting in a white appearance. Infections and illnesses, such as oral thrush, can also lead to a white tongue. Additionally, certain medications can cause a white coating due to an allergic reaction or side effect. It is essential to identify the cause of a white tongue to address any potential health concerns.
