Could be anything hun, but to be 10% sure, you need to visit your dentist. Also, try getting a tongue brush, with the tongue gel- they are fantastic!

It's bacteria. Your toothbrush and regular toothpaste are good enough to get rid of it. Just make sure you use abrush with "soft" brisltes. You will probably get a gagging sensation, but you will have a pink tongue again and get rid of the bad breath.

If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee or milky drinks, then this probably is whats causing it. Try brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth or buy a tongue scraper.

You need to buy a toothbrush with the ;little ridges on the back then scrape your tongue with it every day whilst brushing your teeth they are about £4.00 from all chemists

Drink more water, every day. You're slightly dehydrated. Also, you can brush your tongue, but trust me on the water. It'll be gone in two, or three days, if you drink a couple of litres of water, each day.

Probably yeast...see the answer below regarding thrush. It's common in people who've been on antibiotics or corticosteroids (as in asthma) chronically.

I have had that all my life. I think it's food that gets caught in between your tastebuds. The doctor told me to rinse out my mouth with salt and water every day. It didn't work.
