Hi
When you have your meals,your tongue plays a major role in forming a bolus of food. It is always in contact of whatever you have in your mouth so it is most prone to accumulate plaque.
This plaque accumulation is basically what you notice ..white in colour.
So you should always clean your tongue twice a day as it is the major source(90%) of bad breath.
Next Steps
get a check up done to diagnose if any other disease is present
