Why is the back of my tongue yellow
Yellow Tongue Spot Explained!
I often get yellow spots on my tongue
why does this happen and here's an
example of a picture
drew you're near knows you sadness team
this dr. Mike and I'll start off I mean
that's why when you come in and the
doctor says there's a reason it's not
yellow is it no it's not this case it's
probably a harmless build-up dead cells
on the probably a little switch in the
in the so called micro biome you got it
in the mouth a little shifts in the
bacteria it's a big bacteria that are
giving that pigment look to the tongue
but a lot of different things we can see
with the tongue again and you know we
have that natural flora our normal flora
and in the tongue it's no different it's
an oral mucosa it changes with what we
eat we talked about hydration earlier so
a lot of things in terms of how our
immune system works how our bodies work
our based upon what we do to our bodies
do we exercise do we stay healthy do we
eat yes our diet so it's typically not
anything to get worried about but take a
look I think it's important and as you
said that's one of the reasons when
patients come in we take a look is it I
guess the tongue can tell you a lot
these days
incidentally the color yellow if you're
starting to see the color yellow in
other areas your eyes your skin you do
have to worry about things like jaundice
from potentially liver disease
