A white plaque on the tongue can be caused by various factors, including oral thrush, a fungal infection, dehydration, or poor oral hygiene. It may also result from a buildup of dead cells, bacteria, and food particles. While often harmless, persistent or painful white patches should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene and staying hydrated can help prevent this issue.
