Black spots on the human tongue can be caused by various factors, including a buildup of dead cells, bacteria, or food particles, often linked to poor oral hygiene. Other potential causes include smoking, certain medications, or conditions like oral thrush or geographic tongue. In some cases, black hairy tongue, a harmless condition, may also be responsible. If the spots persist or are accompanied by other symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation.
