What To Do For The Smell In The Breath?
Im 14 years old and i think i may have circumvallate papillae. I noticed it back in december when my breath suddenly started smelling really bad and then i noticed white stuff on my tounge as well. later i noticed what looked like inflamed taste buds on the back of my tounge. they have gotten bigger and there are more of them now and look like they form the shape of a v on the back of my tounge. i have good oral hygiene ( i floss, brush my teeth, my tounge, and rinse with mouthwash) so i dont know what may have caused this.Is circumvallate papillae a bad sign or dangerous? whats the cause? how can i get rid of it? im really worried about this since it hasnt improved or left. Please help!!!!!!!!!!
