White Hairy Tongue

My tongue has been hairy/fuzzy or furry for around 7months+ . I reckon it causes me to have bad breath. I use a tongue scraper and brush it everyday. It doesnt hurt. I fink its elongated pappilae or sumthing. The grooves seem to trap bacteria between them.

Ive been to a doctor and he said its nothing..
Dentist said to use salt disovled in water used as a mouthwash. And drink alot of Vitamin C.

Please help me. I've never talked face to face with any1 for 2 years. Except my family members and some really close frnds.

If i had a wish...my first wish is to fix my tongue back to normal to a pink tongue.

Thx

Hi GumiiZ,

Have you figured out what is causing your hairy/fuzzy tongue?  Does it get discolored?  I have the same problem.  It's been going on for 3 months now and is causing me a great, great deal of anxiety.  I've been scraping and brushing and rinsing as well.  It gets better and then gets worse again throughout the day. You're not alone here....
