Chronic white deposit on tongue.
Hi,
I had braces in the past and since then I am suffering from white deposit on my tongue.
It's been there from past 5 to 6 years but I never paid any attention to it.
But I have decided now to get rid of it altogether.
Please let me know the treatment course.

According to the pic the white deposit itself isn’t very significant however some patches are seen on the left side of tongue which could be due to Vit b12 deficiency. You can get that tested to make sure that it’s normal
