What Is Hairy Tongue?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Other Colors
Black hairy tongue and white hairy tongue are perhaps the most two common types, but there are others. In some cases, the patient’s tongue can be gray, brown, pink, and even green. The cause of the condition is nearly always the same one that will cause black hairy tongue.
The cause of the different colors is usually the same thing that causes the black color – different food and drinks. If you like to eat candies of a certain color, for example, they can turn a ‘hairy’ tongue the same color. The treatment for the condition will be the same regardless of the color, except for white in some cases.
