Does anyone know the cause and cure of those nnoying little white spots you get occasionally on ur tounge? kept me up most of the night catching on my tooth, any help?

Could be oral thrush (trip to docs if it is)


or

Sometimes you can get them from eating too much sugary stuff. Rinse mouth regularly with salt water should help.

Are they REALLY small and quite sore? If it's what I'm thinking of then I remember reading somewhere that you can get them if you're not getting enough Vitamin B. I used to get them quite a lot. I took the lazier option of starting taking a Vitamin B complex supplement (rather than changing my diet!). And I haven't had any since.

yea tiny white and sore i shall look into vitamin b and its uses (i should remember i was a nutrition student :-) )

My tongue is absolutely covered in them.

:D

if u mean ulcers then it vitamin C u need, eat more fruit or take vitamin tabs

I had some white marks on the side of my tongue. Turned out I had a habit of scraping it along my teeth and/ or biting it.
Whoops!

Hi folks
I don't know why but I always get them after going out and drinking a lot - all the time
