What Is Fissured Tongue?
2. What Are the Symptoms of Fissured Tongue?
The most prominent symptom of a fissured tongue is the depression found in the center of the organ. This middle crack will be easy to notice and will often be accompanied by smaller fissures or cracks in the surface of the tongue. An overly wrinkled appearance of the tongue is common in some individuals with this condition. It is also normal for a person with a fissured tongue to be missing papillae, the small white and pink bumps typically found along the tongue’s surface. Instead, a person will have smooth, reddish spots.
All of the symptoms associated with a fissured tongue are minute. In fact, there are many people who live with this condition and never notice. However, a very small number of people have reported minor discomfort from the fissures.
