Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
The white deposits on the tongue can be due to bad oral hygiene or some oral infection. Please send me the picture of your oral cavity so that I can suggest you better.
Snoring is not due to plaque formation. You should get a xray paranasal sinuses done and throat examination done to diagnose the cause for snoring.
Follow up with the required information.
take care
