White colored patches or coatings of the
tongue may be the result of other diseases
such as oral candidiasis (yeast
infection), leukoplakia, or the side
effect of antibiotices, so called
"keratosis", etc. You may consult your
primary health care doctor or a dentist
for further information, possible
diagnosis, and treatment alternatives.
