My tongue always has weird stuff on it?

my tongue has some weird gunk on it like yellow or white..what should i do to clean it cuz brushing doesnt always work?
and fresh breath help?
Answer:
There are 2 things you need to do:
If you can, go see your dentist. If not, then go to the store, like Wal-Mart, and in the toothbrush/floss area there is a tongue-scraper for about $2.00, if that. You scrap all the gunk off your tongue morning and evening. It will help get rid of odor causing bacteria! That should also help with your breath...using mouthwash is good too. Listerine is best because it kills germs whereas Scope doesn't. Good luck!

You need to brush for a long time, morning and night. Make sure that you brush with a hard toothbrush, the tongue holds a lot of bacteria.

It sounds like you may have yeast( also called thrush) It is a fungal infection. You should go to the doctor and get a script for it. But until you can get into the doctor I would do a couple of things and see if it helps. If you change the Ph of you mouth/tongue it may clear it up because your mouth area will not be conducive to the yeast( will not be what is called %26quot;sweet%26quot; or %26quot;friendly for yeast to grow%26quot;) You can do this by rinsing your mouth with vinegar, dilute it by half with water and gargle and swish and spit out then. I would do this three times a day and see if this helps. You could also get a %26quot;tongue brush%26quot;, that comes with a tongue paste and brush you tongue before you rinse with vinegar solution. Yogurt also will clear up %26quot;yeast infections if you take a table spoon and swish and swallow about ten times a day.
If you find that you get reoccurring yeast infections I would get a check up because it could be a sign of other underlying conditions such as diabetes, or a immune system problem.
