Lingua alba

Lingua alba ex papillis minutis, pilis similibus, quae in superficie linguae inveniuntur, oritur, cum nimis crescunt vel tumescunt. Inter papillas auctas et interdum tumentes, detritus, bacteria et cellulae mortuae haerere possunt. Hoc facit linguam quasi membrana alba obductam videri. Quamquam pertimescens videri potest, conditio plerumque nullum nocumentum facit et breve tempus tantum durat. Sed lingua alba signum esse potest quarundam gravium conditionum, ab infectione ad conditionem praecance-rosam. Hae conditiones ad cancrum ducere possent, nisi curarentur. Si de membrana alba vel maculis albis in lingua tua sollicitus es, medicum tuum vel dentium curatorem contáctā.
