Question 1

Under the tongue: In the front of the mouth, one on each side of the midline are the openings of your salivary gland ducts. They are know as the submandibular or wharton&#x27;s ducts.

Question 2

2 very painful lumps under right part of tongue near jaw line. hard to swallow. should it be checked out?

Probably yes: An ENT surgeon may be the best to help sort this out. Could be a stone in one of the salivary ducts, but nothing can substitute for a good exam by an experienced physician.

See your  physician: Your symptom could be caused by many things. You will need a physical exam to help determine the cause.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Nutritional?: See you physician for testing of a possible nutritional deficiency, anemia or other medically related concern. The tongue can tell a lot about our health. Red lines and patches on the tongue can be common in people with anemia.

Question 5

white line under tongue about two inched in length. not on the side but underneath close to floor of mouth. only see it when i raise my tongue.

Accepted Answer

Normal: This is likely your sublingual frenum, or muscle attachment. Perfectly normal. It often restricts the amount that you can stick your tongue out. Some people are very restricted and have it trimmed. If you extend your tongue and move it side to side you may feel it rub against your bottom front teeth. Not to worry.

Question 6

i started to notice a growth of a white spot and like wings under my tongue. it hurts a bit. the white spot is under my tongue right on the line that?

Tongue lesion: Needs to be assess in person to get an accurate diagnosis.  There are many causes of tongue lesions such as fungal and viral.  Tobacco users are at an increased risked for oral cancer.

Question 7

random small, clear bump on upper gums? i smoke sometimes, very rarely. about once every 2 months as a social thing. i brush my teeth everyday, including the gum line and tongue. sometimes i rinse with listerine, as well. i haven't gotten this bump since

Accepted Answer

I : I think it would be a good idea to make an appointment to see a dentist. It is possible that the nerve in that tooth has gone bad and that the little blister that is forming is actually a draining abscess.

You may have hit that tooth hard years ago, or you may have had a big filling placed a while back. This requres an in person exam with a radiograph and cannot accurately be diagnosed over the internet, sight unseen.

Since it keeps recurring in the same spot it is more likely associated with the tooth than an std or your smoking.

Question 8

is it normal with a viral infection in throat to get red and white little bumps in the front of the tongue ? and red veiny line in back of throat .

Accepted Answer

Yes: You are describing fairly common reactions to a viral infection.

Question 9

why is my tongue black?

Accepted Answer

Black Tongue: Black 'hairy' tongue can be caused by lengthening of the bumps on the end of the tongue, or papillae.  They are often rubbed away with eating but can become longer and get stained by food or tobacco products.  Pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can also cause the appearance of a black tongue within 24 hours of use.

Question 10

rough tongue, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Check with dentist: Impossible to answer without an examination. This could be anything from an infection, a wound, swollen taste buds, a buildup of plaque, a buildup of nicotine stain, geographic tongue, cancer, or nothing serious.
Have this examined by your dentist.
