Ever noticed your tongue looks like it has a map on it or deep grooves? You might have geographic tongue or fissured tongue. Both are harmless but often misunderstood conditions. 🗺 Geographic tongue causes smooth, red patches with white borders that move around over time, like continents shifting. It can be sensitive to spicy or acidic foods but doesn’t lead to long-term problems. 🌀 Fissured tongue shows up as deep grooves or cracks, often running down the middle or across the tongue. It’s usually painless but can trap debris, so good oral hygiene is key. These conditions can happen together and are more common than you think. If you’re concerned, talk to a healthcare provider or see an ENT specialist especially if there’s pain or persistent changes. 🎥Unknown. #TongueHealth #GeographicTongue #FissuredTongue #OralHealth #ENTfacts #drnosebest
