Frances... Your white tongue is very likely Candida, and should be treated, not left alone. Candida can progress into the digestive tract and become a major problem. Once there it is VERY difficult to get rid of. The drug of choice is Diflucan, and even though it is a tablet, if you are unable to swallow it, it may be crushed and put through a PEG tube which I did on the many occasions Candida turned my tongue and other parts of my mouth snow white. Please read this page in the main body of the web site http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/dental/candida.htm
