Does any one has any issues with Dry mouth and kind of white tongue ?. Is this common in Hypothyroidism /Hashi or it could be a side effects of levoxyl ?.

When I brush it some of it goes away but it seems to come right back.  My biggest concern is the effect the dry mouth is having on my teeth.  My dentist is sending me to a special clinic in Dallas that specializes in only salivary gland issues. They are gonna run some tests on me and see if they can come up with anything.  My dentist thinks my problem is a secondary condition brought on by the radioactive iodine but he doesn't know. If I get some answers I will definitely post on here. In the mean time I'll just keep brushing with Boitene and using the mouth rinse. I did buy some sugarless hard candy yesterday because sucking on candy definitely helps. Have you had radioactive iodine?

I am so much into this white tongue that now when i am talking to other folks i am looking their tongue rather concentrate on what they are saying. I don't know what to blame for but this white tongue is being on and on with me since i started taking Levoxyl/synthyroid . I surely have very dry mouth  that could be side effect of thyroid medicine but not sure .
Please if you find an answer for your white tongue do let me know. Have you notice if you brush your tongue that whiteness infact go away ? of it still remains the same.

Okay, I have a dry mouth and white tongue and hurting teeth. I had put it all on the radioactive iodine that I had a few months ago. But....now you mention Levoxyl....hmmmm .......I just had my dosage of Levoxyl increased several weeks ago and thats when I noticed my symptoms.  Now you got me thinking about this.  Could I be wrong? Could it be the medicine?  I'm so confused about all of this. I'm on a special mouthwash and toothpaste that the dentist gave me and I'm heading back to the dentist today. I'm going to ask him what he thinks about maybe it being the medicine.  According to my endo it doesn't have anything to do with ANYTHING and that it's got to be something else totally unrelated. Don't think so......

I get dry mouth especially at night as I sleep with my mouth open and snore apparently..
Lately I have been experiencing burning tongue sensations even though I haven't been drinking hot tea or coffee.. I haven't got a white tongue but my tongue has alot of fissures..
