A healthy tongue is light pink and covered with small nodules (papillae). Typically, a healthy tongue sheds and regenerates continuously. If that doesn’t happen, bacteria and other substances become trapped. This bacteria can cause your tongue to look brown. Several things can cause this deviation in color. Brown tongue causes include smoking, drinking a lot of coffee or tea, and poor oral hygiene.

 Remember, when you brush your teeth, brush your tongue as well  If you’re a smoker, it is never too late to quit.  Drink more water for increased hydration and eat a healthy diet.

Brown tongue is very treatable and usually something you can take care of on your own.
