Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hey, folks! What are the things or methods that you did to transform whitish to pinkish tongue.?and so far what's the most effective way? Thanks to those who will respond..

If you have any cavities, have them filled.

Brush your tongue with some sort of tongue brush, just bought one that has bristles AND a rubber pulling thing.. it really gets the gunk off.

Also, rinsing and gargling with baking soda will typically make it as pink as I think it can be.

You can brush your tongue or scrape your tongue or do whatever you like, but the white coating will always come back because there is something causing the coating. Whatever is causing the coating most likely has something to do with your bad breath. As long as you don't eliminate the underlying cause, you will still have an odor on your breath. Most people have a pink tongue without doing anything special.

Im pretty sure I had a white coated tongue before I had bad breath. Maybe not as bad im but almost definite I had a white coated tongue before hand.

My brother always has a white tongue. He never brushes his tongue nor gums. He dosen't even floss and it puzzles me that he doesn't have bad breath. I swear, all he does it brush his teeth and he doesn't even brush them thoroughly. He doesn't brush his inside teeth (like the upper inside and bottom inside), he only brushes the outside and the part we chew food with. I've watched him brush his teeth plenty of times. He has morning breath, but after he brushes his teeth it goes away. Here I am, I brush my teeth tongue gums and jaws, floss, and even gargle with peroxide or mouthwash, yet I have BB. I just don't get it!

I am hoping, tonsillectomy i had yesterday will turn my white tongue to pink . Wish me good luck please.
