A white tongue is often caused by a buildup of bacteria, debris, and dead cells trapped on the tongue’s surface. Poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, dehydration, smoking, or certain medications can all contribute to this condition. In some cases, it may also be linked to infections like oral thrush or conditions such as leukoplakia. While usually harmless, persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a dentist for proper diagnosis and care.
