Hairy tongue

I have never smoked and im 13 years old, but I used to hang out with a ton of my dads friends that smoked at parties and my dad smoked until I was eight or nine. but I got stuck with this fuzzy tongue from just breathing in all that smoke!!! im scared to kiss because I think he will get the wrong impression of me and/or get sooo grossed out. how can I get rid of this light fuzz on my tongue?

what the f*ck? how do you have a hairy tounge? and if it is hairy you didnt get it from second hand smoke, just shave it I guess use a bic razor(make sure its clean)

Answer #2

Try a tongue scraper. You can find them in the same places that sell toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Answer #3

sorry to say but you dont get hairy tongue by smoking… I’ve been smoking for 5 years now and I dont see any hair on my tongue ( I used to smoke 3 packet a day, now its about 1) I guess just use a tongue scrapper or a razor with protection (Wilkinson sword)

Answer #4

its not hair you dont get it by being around smoke lots of people get this its one thing can contributes to bad breath you just need to clean it and as easy was is to rub it all off with a toothbrush

Answer #5

Your hairy tongue is caused by a fungal overgrowth. Not a serious condition but it can be embarassing. Like others said use a tongue scraper and have good general oral hygene and it should clear up. It isn’t really hair so don’t try using a razor on it. Smoking can contribute to this overgrowth but more often it is caused by antibiotics killing beneficial bacteria and allowing already present fungi to flourish.

Answer #6

I dont think you got hair on your tongue from smoke. See a doctor. The fact is, is that your not 100%sure of what is on your tongue or how it got there. Definately maintain cleaning your tongue w/a scraper and keep a clean mouth in general, but if I were u, I would so be at the doctors office. Tell him when you started seeing this and I’m sure they can figure something out. Good luck.
