anyone see any reason for the soreness around the front, center of this tongue? http://www.123imagehost.com/uploads/488-147-ton.JPG > anyone see any reason for the soreness around the front, center of this > tongue? Not a great photo. Looks like a mild case of benign migratory glossitis (geographic tongue). I wouldn't be concerned. Are there any symptoms?

Joel An alternative spelling for "tongue" is tounge which we haven't seen for a while. Its only an alternative at sci.med.dentistry!

There are symptoms, according to the brief "history" accompanying the photo: soreness around the front, center. Perhaps this is geographic tongue, but also could be a canker sore type of thing -- hard to tell from the photo. I'd try a lidocaine gel or something similar, and see if that helps. Also, orabase might be worth a try. > > anyone see any reason for the soreness around the front, center of this > > tongue?

Also, > orabase might be worth a try. I don't know that I've ever seen an aphthous ulcer on the dorsum of the tongue. Of course, it could be from irritaion, and if the lower incisors are rough this should be checked.

I just wanted to add my two cents. I've had something pretty similiar to this, I believe. It was Diagonised as Thrush a form of "Yeast Infection". I was given two different forms of medications, a Mouthwash that was mixed up by the pharmacist when ordered, and tablets. It was surely painful. And I guess once you've had it, your more appt to get again. I've found that out to be true for me anyway. Have a good Day! >>anyone see any reason for the soreness around the front, center of this >>tongue? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Have a good Day! Can't rule it out based on this photo. But this doesn't look like thrush to me. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 |
