Around the back of the tongue is where it gets really white, that pic probably doesn't show it enough. This has caused me bad breath for years and I don't think it has ever gone away. I brush my tongue, floss, use a tongue scraper, and nothing helps. I chew gum and the constant flow of saliva keeps it from reeking I guess.
What exactally is this white bacteria that won't go away? Maybe a super strong mouthwash will eliminate the problem? Please help! Thanks!
