I have been dealing with either a totally white or “geographic” tongue for a while now. Brushing or scraping the tongue doesn’t remove the white, as anyone with this condition will attest. I’ve tried lots of interventions, to get rid of it including flowers of sulfur, methylene blue, zinc, low starch etc.
I tried a new mouthwash last night called Iorinse. It’s iodine formulated to be clear and non staining. I brushed my teeth and tongue as normal, tongue was white still. I swished for 30 seconds with Iorinse, spit it out, examined my tongue again but this time there was a brownish/yellowish slime that was sitting on the surface. I scraped it off, running my tongue under my front teeth and MORE CAME OFF. I removed the gunk off my tongue with my finger and it resembled snot. I repeated the mouthwash once more last night and produced more “scrapings” but they were white and not brownish.
this morning, more mouthwash, more White scrapings. The pic on the left is from this morning. Pic on the right is from a few days ago. I didn’t happen to take a pic of my tongue yesterday, but the one on the right is an accurate representation of yesterday’s condition, hence the word “overnight” in the title. I’ve been dealing with various degrees of white or geographic tongue for years and years, and cycled on and off various antimicrobials, antifungals, and diets. So even though you see methylene blue on my tongue on the right, I can assure you it had no effect on the white parts ?
