What Do White Frothy Patch On The Inside Of My Tongue Indicate?
I have a white frothy patch of saliva on my inner tongue when I wake up in the morning. But goes off a bit after brushing and thorough rinsing with water. Also when I start to talk a thick white saliva builds up on my lips especially the corners of my lips. It s so embarrassing because people can only look at my face while talking for a few minutes. And then the start squeezing their faces and some start to look away while I continue talking to them obviously because of what the see in my mouth and lips as I keep talking. Please help

Hello,
Saliva that forms a white foam can be a sign of dry mouth. You might notice the foamy saliva at the corners of your mouth, as a coating on your tongue or elsewhere inside your mouth. It can be fixed with a good oral hygiene and by drinking liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
