When you spit into the sink, you happen to notice that your\ntongue looks a little odd. Normally, it is a healthy shade of pink, but not\ntoday. You debate whether you should see your family dentist in Kernersville.\nAs long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you should be fine, right? Is your\ntongue really a big deal? Well, the coloration and texture of your tongue can\nbe an important sign of a serious oral and medical condition that needs proper\ntreatment. Read on to learn the four signs you should watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White Spots or Coating on Your Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your teeth, white is generally a good color\nto see. However, if your tongue appears to have a white coating or has white\nspots, it could indicate a condition called leukoplakia, which can be a\nprecursor to oral cancer. Another potential issue is oral thrush, or a yeast\ninfection that commonly occurs in infants and the elderly. It is especially\ncommon in those with a weaker immune system and those who wear dentures.\nHowever, oral thrush can also happen to patients just after they\u2019ve taken\nantibiotics. Regular dental visits and daily oral hygiene can help you avoid\nthis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At its mildest, a red tongue could signal folic acid and\nvitamin B-12 deficiencies. Patches of red surrounded by a white border is\ntypically called geographic tongue, but it generally is harmless. If a red\ntongue is accompanied by a high fever, you could have scarlet fever, in which\ncase, you\u2019ll need to see your physician for antibiotics. A red tongue and high\nfever in children younger than five years old could be a serious condition\ncalled Kawasaki disease, which requires immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sore or Bumpy Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever burned or bitten your tongue, you\u2019ve likely\nexperienced having more sensitive and enlarged bumps on your tongue, but these\nsymptoms can occur even if you haven\u2019t had some sort of trauma. You can have\nmouth ulcers, which are commonly called canker sores and usually heal within\none or two weeks. However, if a lump or sore on the tongue lasts longer than\ntwo weeks, it could indicate oral cancer, even if it doesn\u2019t hurt. In fact, the\nearly stages of oral cancer often come without any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black or Hairy Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, a dark, black tongue is not especially common.\nThose who have extraordinarily long papillae, or the small bumps on the tongue\ncan have bacterial growth if they don\u2019t properly maintain their oral hygiene.\nThose who have diabetes, undergo chemotherapy, or take antibiotics may be at\nincreased risk of having this symptom. Basically, you\u2019ll likely need a visit\nwith your dentist to get your oral health back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, if you notice irregular coloration or texture on\nyour tongue for prolonged periods of time despite exercising proper oral care,\nyou need to see your dentist (or physician, depending on the situation) for an\nevaluation. As an expert in oral issues, your dentist can help diagnose the\nproblem and recommend treatment that can ensure your oral health and overall\nwell-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For about 30 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernersvilledentist.com\/meet-dr-veronica-walker.html\">Dr.\nVeronica Walker<\/a> has been serving patients in the Kernersville area.
