10 Causes of White Tongue
Cause #7: Mouth or Tongue Cancer
Mouth or tongue cancer can cause symptoms such as ulceration, pain, swelling, and red or white patches that can be seen on the lining of the tongue.

Seek a professional opinion even with subtle symptoms to increase the chance of a prognosis and avoid progression of disease.
