Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Anyone have a coated / hairy tongue that looks like this. It can also be white or black.

Anyone have a cure or how to get rid of it, scraping doesn't do the job unfortunately.

Have you tried urea or bleach? It seems to have worked for some.

I am going to give urea a go, I have ordered some.
I'm not sure about bleach, I will see with the urea first.

Do you have hairy tongue?

Have you tried baking soda? It works for me. It's the only thing that saves me from oral bb. Good thing, it's cheap.

Yh, but it does not completely remove the coating on the tongue, just freshens it

if you scrape with nail, do you get a lot of gunk behind the nail?
if I scrape mine I get lots of freaking gunk

Maybe you have thrush

Hello. That’s most likely candida. You probably have oral thrush. Go to an ENT, you’ll be prescribed some fluconazole probably. It should go away in a few weeks.

*my story with oral thrush *
Had my 4 wisdom teeth removed in 2 surgeries. I had to take antibiotics for 5 days each time and each time my tongue got those white hairs, not as extreme as yours, but they were there. I took 2 fluconazole pills, 5 days apart (please, don’t order online and go to an actual doctor to get a prescription) and it was gone.
