Yuck . . . I suffer from the above. My diet is good, I don't smoke, only have 2 or 3 cups of tea/coffee a day. In the summer I went to the doctor and was prescribed antibiotics and oral gel and for a short time after I had a lovely pink tongue. There is no pain, DH assures me I don't have halitosis! - but it's ugly and I know I am sef conscious when I smile . . . I go to the dentist regularly. Any docs/dentists/fellow sufferers got any advice?
