One of the most common conditions that can lead to a green tongue is oral thrush. This is a fungal infection that is caused due to Candida albicans. This condition mostly occurs as an opportunistic infection in people that have compromised immunity. It is also seen in people that have been wearing ill-fitting dentures or prostheses over a very long course of time. Although normally when there is oral candidiasis, there is the appearance of white tongue. However, after eating and due to the use of antibiotics, there may eventually be development of a green tongue infection. This colored coating is generally removable in which case, it reveals a raw, red bleeding portion on the tongue. This condition generally affects the dorsal surface of the tongue, although it can affect any part of the oral cavity. Other thrush symptoms include a burning sensation felt along with bad breath, general discomfort and pain on eating spicy food. The oral thrush treatment consists of firstly dealing with the infection, by topically applying antifungal medication. Along with this, one will also need to ensure that the person's diet and hydration levels are properly maintained.

There may be many other causes of greenish tongue discoloration. Green tongue and sore throat may also be related as this may be an extension of an infection of the upper respiratory tract. At times, as ironic as it may seem, people may also land up with a greenish tongue when they have been on long term antibiotics. Other conditions that can lead to green tongue include smoking, green tongue infections, overuse of mouthwash,
