Mouth odour is mostly caused by a condition called wite tongue. A normal tongue is meant to be red in colour, so if your tongue has a different colour, then there obviously is a problem. The tongue is covered with papillae – small nodules on the tongue that give it a rough texture.

When food debris, bacteria and dead cells become lodged between inflamed papillae, white tongue occurs. It’s usually harmless and temporary, but it can also be an indication of an infection or a serious condition.

The most common cause of white tongue is dehydration. A dry mouth is a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria. Brushing your teeth and tongue less than twice a day increases your risk of developing white tongue. It can also be caused by an overgrowth of candida, which is a fungus that causes yeast infections or oral thrush.

Candida often lives inside the mouth. The problem arises when it accumulates. It can spread to the roof of the mouth, the gums, tongue, tonsils and the back of the throat. This creates white tongue, lesions, redness and even bleeding.

White tongue that cannot be scraped off and doesn’t go away after using anti-fungal treatments may be the result of a more serious condition. A white tongue accompanied by a sore throat may be symptoms of strep throat. White tongue can be caused by any of these factors:

1. Dehydration
2. Poor oral hygiene
3. Illness or infection
4. Dry mouth
5. Fever
6. Reaction to certain medications, such as antibiotics or steroids
7. Candida yeast infection (oral thrush)
8. Smoking or tobacco use
9. Alcohol use
10. Spicy food such as habanero and jalepeno peppers
11. Congenital heart disease in adults


Natural Treatment for white tongue:
1. Baking Soda:

Baking soda is able to exfoliate the tongue, removing any residue that causes white tongue. It also helps maintain good pH levels in the mouth by neutralizing acids. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with lemon juice until it creates a paste. Add the mixture to your toothbrush, then brush your tongue and mouth.

2. Coconut Oil Pulling

Coconut oil pulling is a great way to remove bacteria from the mouth. Research has shown it to be just as effective as mouthwash at improving bad breath and reducing the microorganisms that can cause bacteria buildup in the mouth. Swish 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10-20 minutes then spit it out in the trash. Rinse your mouth with warm water then brush your teeth as usual.

3. Sea Salt:

Thanks to the natural antibacterial properties of sea salt, gargling can help eliminate bacteria in the mouth that causes white tongue. The coarse texture of sea salt also works as an exfoliate. Combine sea salt and water to create a mouthwash. Use the mouthwash, then brush your teeth and tongue with the sea salt.

4. Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe Vera has natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s commonly used to heal infections and treat burns. It can be used to remove dead cells and destroy bacteria in the mouth. Swish 1 tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice in your mouth 2-3 times daily until the coating his disappeared.

5. Probiotics

Oral thrush and white tongue can be caused by an imbalance of healthy bacteria in your gut. Eating probiotic foods helps to balance your bacteria and treat health conditions related to candida. Probiotic foods include, unsweetened yogurt, dark chocolate, cheese, pickles etc

Mouth odor solutions?

1 Use good toothpaste like... Sensodyne and brush twice daily
2 Use good children’s table spoon for scrubbing your tongue once daily caution... when you start using kid spoon for scrubbing, will at some point feel some pains on your tongue but don’t worry because the odor foundations are scrubbing away gradually, you can skip two days and continue
3 Use good flossing pick once or twice daily!

I thought i had a very bad mouth infection. Was scared to death because it made me shy away 4rm colleagues in a face to face conversation. Then i discovered i wasnt cleaning my mouth well. B4 nw i usually brush the outer part of my mouth while paying less attention to my tongue area.. I discovered that not brushing or cleaning the tongue results to the mouth emitting a foul smell no matter how white ones teeth is.

Baking soda does a lot of wonders,it can also be used as a facial mask to clean the facial skin pores.

A shop that sells flour,butter, yeast will have baking soda,it's also cheap too

Probiotic foods include, unsweetened yogurt, dark chocolate, cheese, pickles etc

All those ones na onyibo food o.
