I had the same problem- white on tongue. Doc first had a test for thrush which came back negative. Then took a tongue scraping and turned out it's my digestive juices. From there it turns out I have acid reflux. That was seven years ago and although I am very diligent and healthy it has not gone away. It does not really bother me any more, I flick it off with my toothbrush morning and night and that's that. Hope this helps
