What Your Tongue Says About Your Health

A Window to Your Health

Your tongue's appearance can indicate oral and systemic health issues. We examine tongues at every check-up as part of comprehensive care.

What to Look For

White coating may indicate oral thrush. Red patches could be vitamin deficiency. Black hairy appearance often relates to medication. Smooth tongue may signal B12 deficiency. Sores that don't heal need investigation.

When to Seek Help

Any lasting changes in tongue appearance, persistent sores, lumps, or unexplained pain warrant professional examination. Early detection of issues leads to better outcomes.
