Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Here is Dr. Priyanka tiwari anwering your query

I have gone through your query, firstly dont brush your teeth with baking soda , brush your teeth with toothpaste twice daily,

-As you have mentioned about spots on tongue , dont worry it can be depapillation of papillae.

-For this you can take vitamin supplement B6, B12 once daily for one week.

-If you wont get releif then consult dentist and go for Oral examination.

Hope I answered your query .
Wishing you good health.
