Still bits of white on tongue after brushing

After I’ve finished brushing my tongue I’ve noticed  there are still parts of my tongue that are white. Most of the white stuff goes away but some of it remains. I’ve tried scraping my tongue before, brushing with salt and brushing with baking soda but the white stuff remains. Why is this? 

The pictures below were taken at the same time, one with flash and one without flash, after I brushed my tongue.

      Hey George, I went to the GP and he said it may be that my tongue has bacteria on it and recommended I use Corsodyl for a week and come back to him. I used it for two weeks and I don’t think it has helped so I’ll be going back to him on Monday.
