Green Tongue (serious question)?
Question:
Any ideas of what this might be? Most of it seem to come off when I tried brushing it. I'm concerned that it might have something to do with why I am feeling bad. Fungus, yeast, or other type of infection. It is a deep green not a yellow green.
Please help.
Answers:
It could be Black hairy tongue, black hairy tongue can also appear to be green like your saying. You should go see your dentist ASAP.
Have you been having oral with funkafied females? Yeast infection tounge.
Ok I dont know--this sounds gross and I hope this isnt the case but I researched for several minutes and this is what I got.
While the term ‘black hairy tongue’ suggests the tongue surface looks black, it may also be dark yellow, brown, green or white. The tongue papillae are constantly renewing themselves and, usually, the old cells are shed as the new cells emerge. Black hairy tongue, a comparatively rare condition, is caused by the failure of the old cells to shed. The overgrowth of papillae trap food and bacteria, which create the characteristic dark ‘coat’ on the tongue’s surface, while the tongue looks furred because of the layering of unshed papillae. The cause isn’t known, but risk factors include:
Poor oral hygiene
Cigarette smoking
Particular antibiotics
Chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancers of the head and neck
Poorly managed diabetes
