I've been noticing a lot of white specks on my tongue lately. What are the causes of white tongue?

The most common cause of white spots on your tongue is a fungal infection called thrush. Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast in your mouth and can be treated with antifungal medications. Other causes of white spots on your tongue include smoking, certain medications, and nutritional deficiencies such as Vitamin B12 deficiency.
