Geographic tongur

2022-05-03 07:26:34
My doctor diagnosed me with a geographic tongue. However, I have doubt as it keeps occurring on right lateral border, but I read on google that it keeps moving, but for my case it's specified on a single area. What can be other conditions that mimic geographic tongue? It starts with a tiny dot and spreads to the whole area

Check for any trigger points there, such as sharp tooth or any habit of twisting your tongue in that side always???
