why do i have a white coating on my tongue no matter how much i scrub ?

i brush my teeth and tongue twice a day for 2 minutes, use mouth wash, a tongue scraper but my tongue is still white. i literally scrape like 10 times and use mouthwash 2-3 times a day but nothing is making my tongue pink

    White tongue usually is a factor of the swelling of those dots that are on top of your tongue. Might also be something else but i'd definitely ask a specialist to be sure.

    Most of us have this especially at the back, it is normal. Scraping it will damage the tongue coating, stop doing it.
