HI,

your tongue gets the coating very fast and that coating smells bad.

this is normal but amount of coating depends from person to person.

I suggest use tongue cleaner regularly two times a day along with brushing.
for fresh breath use mouthwash at the interval of half an hour from brushing.

Thanks,

Dr. Vishal Jain.

hi marrissa,
you did not give the complete information about problem,are you taking any medicine,or since how many days you feel the same problem etc......
anyways,i will suggest you please maintain your oral hygiene,brush properly twice daily,use mouthwash and tongue cleaner..........
and please go to an specialist9oral pathologist) and go for complete examination done.
nothing to get worried.
