The tongue papillae, including the taste buds, can become inflamed. A sore tongue is not always a sign of something more serious. The tongue should be included in good dental health habits. Over time, smoking can make the tongue more sensitive to heat and cold.
The tongue is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, and any noticeable changes in the tongue may be a sign of disease or other physical problem. It is the ENT's job to uncover what the underlying issue is that is causing the tongue problem. An example of a common issue is a tongue with white coating or white patchy spots. This is a strong indication that the patient may have an infection, inflammatory disease or an overgrowth of yeast.
