where does the tongue attach to the mouth?
frenulum
all sides of the tongue are assessed. to inspect the dorsal side (top) of the tongue, a patient sticks out their tongue. a healthy dorsal tongue is symmetrical, pink, moist, slightly rough from the papillae, possibly with a thin, whitish coating. the sides of the tongue are inspected with a gloved hand holding a piece of gauze. the tongue is moved side to side and inspected; it should be pink, moist, smooth and glistening. assessment of the ventral (bottom) surface of the tongue is done by having the patient touch the tip of their tongue against the roof of their mouth. if healthy, it should have prominent veins and be pink, smooth, moist, glistening and free of lesions. the frenulum should be centered under the tongue. abnormal findings includes marked redness, cyanosis or extreme pallor. diseases include scrotal or fissured tongue, migratory glossitis (geographic tongue), atrophic glossitis, black hairy tongue, caviar lesions, carcinoma, macroglossia, candidiasis, aphthous ulcer and leukoplakia.
