My tounge has been white for the longest and ive always wondered why it looked so pale and never pink. Could it be oral thrush? It's not painful or anything.

Hello,
First try to maintain oral hygiene but brushing twice and cleaning your tongue and if the white lesson is scrapable and is cleared then fine if not then consult a dentist and get treated.

Oral thrush is not normally common in healthy young adults with normal oral hygiene. It is unlikely that you have it. Coated tongue can occur due to many other reasons like acidity, gastritis,sinus problems etc
Health Tips
Brush your tongue gently while brushing to keep it clean
