how do i get rid of a furry tongue?

[bubbles4920]

ive always had a bit of a furry tongue but just lately its so bad. it smells and i have a dreadful bad breath. any ideas how i can get rid of it? ive used a scraper and toothbrush/paste but cant do it for too long as it makes me gag. wondered if there was something out there that would dissolve this awful thing. by the way i use corsodyl mouthwash but this only works momentarily. i darent even kiss my fella now for fear of him throwing me off!

ps meant to say, dont think its thrush as its not big white blobs like cottage cheese!

Maybe you could ask your GP or your dentist? Could it be a food allergy or something? smoking, drinking wine? No idea, but the best thing would be to ask a professional I think. :-)

yes i suggest a trip to dentist or hyginist.
Even one of these chinese herbist type people too.

apparently the tounge is a key to your overall health, so please get it checked out.

Are you drinking enough water?

use a towel and wipe. i have a small one just for this use, just be sure to wash it regularly and don't use the same place twice.

gross i know, but it works

2 things:

1)Do you smoke cigarettes?
2) Are you a mouth breather?
