I have a problem. I have an enormous
tongue and a small mouth. I can easily
stretch my tongue out so many inches and
it would seem to be a tight fit for my
small mouth.
That's not exactly the problem. The main
problem is a white discoloration that has
coated the the lot of my tongue. Whats
not white is, of course, pink. The
doesn't seem to be a rank odor from it,
though. Occasionally I will also develope
bumps on the side and tip of my tongue
(more so towards the end of it) that are
fairly hard. They go away with time, but
feel quite raw, but no real pain. At the
moment the tips' side of my tongue as
white snake/worm looking lines. They
arent real big, but seem to have recently
developed. Occasionally I also get
irritable taste buds that seemingly swell
larger then normal on my tongues surface
does anybody know what this is or how I
can treat it?
I brush daily, i've never had cavities. I
brush my tongue and it doesnt remove the
white coloration or the irritable buds.
I'm mainly focused on this problem because
i'm assuming the rawness and stiff bumps
that develope on the sides are from the
compaction of my tongue into my teeth and
theres no way I can really prevent that.

I'm actually having the same problem at
the moment. It could be that you have too
much sodium in your diet. Sometimes when
you eat too many salty foods it irritates
the inside of your mouth a lot. I don't
know for sure. It's just a possibility.
