White coating on your tongue

A white coating on your tongue could mean that you have a yeast overgrowth.[1] But before you panic about yeast infections like candida, try brushing your tongue properly for a week and then see if the white patches or coating persist.Candida overgrowths often occur when you have been ill and have used antibiotics, or when your immune system is run down. Balancing your gastrointestinal environment with healthy levels of probiotics from fermented foods, good quality natural yoghurt, or a probiotic supplement can be a great way to restore gastrointestinal balance in the digestive tract. If the white patches persist, then see your physician as oral cancer can often start in these areas.

What is tooth erosion?

Tooth erosion is the loss of enamel and dentine from your teeth. Enamel is the protective coating on the surface of your teeth which covers the more sensitive dentine layer underneath.When the enamel erodes, the dentine becomes exposed which can result in sensitivity.If you have dental erosion, your teeth may look darker and yellower (because dentine is this colour). Your teeth may become more sensitivity and, if your enamel breaks down, you’re at increased risk of tooth decay.If the erosion is quite severe, your teeth may begin to look smaller and worn. If you think you may have tooth erosion, speak to your dentist.

Scalloped tongue

A scalloped tongue gets its name from the wavy or rippled indentations that appear along the sides of a person’s tongue. A scalloped tongue is also known as:wavy tonguepie crust tonguecrenated tonguelingua indentataThe notches of a scalloped tongue are rarely painful. Any pain may be the result of the underlying condition that’s causing the ripples.The lining of your mouth, especially on the sides nearest your tongue, may become red or sensitive. This is rare, but more likely if you’re applying a significant amount of pressure or friction to the skin.
