Noticed White Coating On Tongue In Morning. Should I Consult A Dentist?
Question: When I get up every morning my tongue has a white coating and I bush the tongue and clean and rinse should I go see a Doctor or a dentist?
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
With the very limited information posted, I feel that you don't need urgent medical attention . If the white coating is persisting after brush, adherent, bleeding to touch etc, then you should XXXXXXX a doctor. There could be a remote possibility of candida infection.
However, you can wait and watch and look for the symptoms that I suggested.
I hope that I have answered your query
In case you have further query, please get back to me
Best wishes
