There are spots (about 4 or 5) right at the back of my tongue and before i brushed my teeth the surrounding area was a greeny/yellow colour. Also I taste like sick sometimes - its disgusting. Anyone know what it is. Should I see my doc straight away?

go to the dentist and get a check up.....

It suuure is.
these spots are totally normal. I was freaked out when i first saw them but I asked my mum (who's a doc) and she assured me that many (if not most) people have them. No one can see them anyway so it's pretty much a non-issue.
yeah i have them too...they dont make any difference and as already mentioned u cant even see them..so dont worry!!

You have to clean your tongue, otherwise there will be a build up of bacteria (greeny yellow colour), which is also the cause of bad breath.
