XyliMelts discs are placed on a tooth or gums in the mouth to slowly dissolve and release 500 mg of xylitol and soothing oral lubricant to coat the mouth and tongue, and stimulate saliva production which can provide temporary relief for some or all of the symptoms of white tongue or dry mouth. If you are suffering from dry mouth in conjunction with white tongue, try XyliMelts adhering discs to relieve your discomfort.
Nail fungus can make your toe nails and even your fingernails look like they are rotting away when the nails turn an unsightly yellow and become unnaturally thick. An infection of the nails by fungi (called onychomycosis in medical terminology) is not simply a cosmetic problem; it is not inherited; and it is contagious.
When to See Your Doctor. Often a black toenail will eventually fall off and regenerate on its own. If pain or signs of infection (e.g., pus, discharge, foul odor, fevers, chills) are not present, you may not need to seek medical treatment right away.
