Thick white coating on tongue...

3 replies

My 13 DS has a thick white coating all over his tongue. He has had a thin white coating before but at the moment his entire tongue is white.

He has braces. I was wondering if his oral hygiene is to blame or it it's something else.

Any advice?

Sounds like thrush

Yeah, sounds like oral thrush. Think he needs to visit GP or Pharmacist for advice/treatment

Sounds like thrush. Easy to sort out with a visit to GP.
