hairy mouth

[Rokiss12]

with ALL the medications we all take (antibiotics and tobi-mainly) my doctor has always told me to rinse my mouth between alll oral medications. i understand that- and i try, but usually end up forgetting.

i brush my teeth twice a day, use mouthwase, and a touge cleaner thing though.

and i still get hairy mouth! ahh its so annoying, like the yellow that goes on your touge? you know? well how the heckkkkk can i help it GO AWAY! it tastes really bad- especially in the morning!

anytips or advice would be GREATLY apprieciated!

I've had problems with this in the past.  Sadly, I have no
really good solution except for listening to the doc and rinsing.
 As a quick fix (but a bit unpleasant) gargling with salt
water several times a day has cleared it up for me pretty quickly.

Sounds like you have thrush. I use biotene mouth wash twice daily and I never get thrush anymore. My tongue is Pink.

I just stick my tongue out and have a good scrub away at it with my toothbrush evrytime I brush my teeth, i've tried many tongue cleaner thingies and they didn't do the trick, i remember a couple times when i didn't do it for a while and it would build up bad, when I brush at it then it would come off in patches and even sometimes bleed but that'll stop and once it's gone and I brush my tongue everyday it keeps it away, brushing your tong is something to get used to tho, it makes u wanna gag but just fight it and bare it eventually you'll get good at ignoring, but til then dont do it after eating, you may lose your food and have to deal with unsclogging the sink! gross i know! Anyway hope that helps
