Yes I have had my tongue peel before and
my dentist didn't know what the dead skin
was! I peeled it right off and it went
away. It has happened again several times
and I just peeled it off. It may be a
problem with not brushing the tongue
enough, having a tongue burned (my tongue
peeled as a result of that before), or its
just the body's way of getting rid of dead
skin cells. I highly doubt it is serious
at all, but it would be a good question to
ask your dentist. If I find out anything
else I will let you know.
