White Tongue
White tongue often indicates a coating or film on the tongue's surface, potentially caused by poor oral hygiene, dehydration, or infections like oral thrush. This condition is generally benign but may sometimes signal underlying health issues. Maintaining good oral hygiene can typically prevent and treat white tongue effectively.
