A lot of people confuse a white tongue with a yeast infection of the tounge, also known as thrush.
Here are 2 easy tips to discover whether you have a tongue yeast infection:
1. a tongue yeast infection can be painful and shows itself in white patches
2. a tongue yeast infection cannot be wiped off with a tooth brush or tongue cleaner without leaving the tongue raw or even bleeding.
Mild cases of a tongue yeast infection can be treated at home.
