Our tongues can tell us a lot about our health and general well-being. So how can we check our tongues for signs and symptoms of illnesses?
Key takeaways:
• A red or shiny-looking tongue could signify that you lack enough iron or Vitamin B.
• A tongue with creamy white patches could indicate that you have a condition called oral thrush.
• A tongue that feels fuzzy or appear yellow can be the result of poor oral hygiene.
Visit your dentist regularly and when brushing your teeth, remember to gently clean your tongue.
