Do I have Oral Thrush?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello everyone. My tongue and the inside of mouth has a white layer. I've had this as long as I can remember because I never really took it seriously enough to look into it.
I have tried plenty of home remedies such as coconut oil and sodium bicarbonate but it never really helped.
My tongue tends to be white the most in the mornings when I go to the bathroom to do my morning routine.
Pics attached, can someone check and tell me if it is indeed fungal infection?
Thanks.

Well, from what I can see in the pictures you have provided, it doesn't look like there is anything unusual with your tongue.
As for the rest of the inside of your mouth, I can't see it.
The white layer you're talking about is probably just an excess of bacteria and small pieces of dead cells that come off the inside of the mouth.
A simple solution may be to increase your daily water intake to maintain the hydration of your mouth and a good salivary flow.
Otherwise, I advise you to talk to a dentist and to be careful when using sodium bicarbonate inside the mouth, because this substance is highly corrosive to the teeth.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I did not provide any pictures of the inside of my mouth, but I can confirm the inside of my mouth including the roof, have a white layer and I have a feeling it shouldn't be like that. If the inside my mouth is white as as well, does that mean I most likely have oral thrush?
