A: Geographic tongue is a fairly common condition. It can occur at any time in life, including childhood. It is estimated to affect from 1 - 2.5% of the population. In affected individuals geographic tongue tends to vary in color, shape and size --- hence the name of the condition.
A diagnosis of benign migratory glossitis (geographic tongue) is made by the appearance. The portions of the tongue with atrophic filiform papilla are symptomatic to acidic foods. Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a clinical diagnosis made via the exclusion of all other causes. No universally accepted diagnostic criteria, laboratory tests, imaging studies or other modalities definitively diagnose or exclude burning mouth syndrome (BMS).
