Many patients visit their dentist and ask what the yellow coating on their tongue can indicate.
There are many reasons for this, from smoking cigarettes to drinking a lot of coffee, tea (black and fruit) or eating spices that can stain the tongue. Unfortunately, the yellow colour ing of the tongue can also occur in patients with duodenal disease or gastric ulcers.
If you notice any changes on your tongue that do not go away for a long time, you should see a specialist. Perhaps our visit will not end with a visit to the dentist only, but a gastrological or oncological consultation will be necessary.
