Say Ahhhh!

Stick your tongue out and say “Ahhhh…” What do you see? 

Cracks on your tongue are completely normal, but you might need to clean your tongue to avoid bad breath.

Do you see red areas with white borders that look like maps? Those spots lack the papillae that protect  the tongue, but there is nothing to worry about.

A white tongue might be an oral yeast infection caused by antibiotics, and a black hairy tongue can be caused by smoking, alcohol or medication.

Teeth marks along the sides can mean you clench your teeth, so it's important to have that looked at.

When you have a check-up and clean, your hygienist will give you personalised advice, so just call 4729 5777 at Cameron and Co Dental in Townsville today.
