tongue problem?

hey im a 28 year old male with wht my doctor says its GT (geographical tongue) but it also seems to me as though my tongue like all of it seems to have like little white crystals on it.....are tongues supposed to have white on them??  my doc says that it is normal and so does my dentist but it doesnt seem normal to me>?

ive only noticed it for about 2 or 3 months now but before that i never really looked at my tongue.  I did go through a period of about 4 months of very bad stress and anxiety(which is done now).

thanks

i am going through a lot of neurological things. my question is this. i have 2 teeth missing on th bottom right side of my mouth and my tongue sags in there. can this change the way your tongue looks. if i stick my tongue out to a point the side that sags into the teeth area seems to curve to that side and is king of thinner on that side. if i curve the tip of my tongue uppwards while sticking it out it seems to even it out.

I think that if both professionals agree upon the diagnosis then I think you should consider them to be correct. If you are still not convinced then I think you should see an oral surgeon for another opinion.
