Tongue Thrush

i have this stuff on my tongue (its not thrush) its more of an white creamy color?

i have had it for a coulple of years, i floss, brush 2 to 3x a day, have stop smoking to see if that was it. my denist said i make plently of saliva so its not dry mouth but it seems that way. im health so i do'nt belive its my body fighting an infection for the 4 years ive had it. if i drink water constely its not as bad.

1. Does it kinda scrape off? If it does then it's nothing to really worry about. Just do what you would normally do.
2. i duno, maybe the things you eat? brush ur tongue with a tooth brush too. it helps. if it bad when you wake up in the morning? then its prob plaque. or do u have a cold? it could be mucus dried uknow
3. SO DO I! Iv'e always wondered what that stuff is. I think it's just the normal mucosa membrane which coats the tounge, but I'm not sure. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_membrane.
4. Maybe you are producing too much yeast. It could be a yeast infection. Yeast infections can become pretty bad. You might want to see a doctor.
5. this is directly connected to what you eat. it also reflects what is going on inside your intestines. cut out all wheat, especially refined wheat (ie pasta, cookies, bread) for a week and there is a good chance you will notice change, if not clearing it out. if it doesn't get better, avoid dairy too, and you will notice a change.
