White tongue is often related to oral hygiene. Your tongue can turn white when the tiny bumps (papillae) that line it swell up and become inflamed. Bacteria, fungi, dirt, food, and dead cells can all get trapped between the enlarged papillae. This collected debris is what turns your tongue white. Some of the conditions can cause white tongue:
-poor brushing and flossing
-dry mouth
-breathing through your mouth
-dehydration
-irritation, such as from sharp edges on your teeth or dental instruments
-fever
Red spot with white tongue is usually seen in fungal infections and u would need to be treated for this.
