A black tongue, also known as lingua villosa, occurs when the papillae on the tongue elongate and become discolored, often appearing black due to the accumulation of bacteria, food particles, and dead cells. It can be caused by factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, excessive alcohol or coffee consumption, and certain medications. While it is usually harmless and reversible with improved oral care, persistent or severe cases should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions.
