Question 1

what are the main causes of tongue protrusion?

Accepted Answer

The ability to: Protrude ones tongue is a natural or normal phenomenon and doesn't indicate anything is wrong.  The tongue is a muscle and can vary in thickness and length.  Some people are able to protrude their tongues more than others which some are unablegto protrude at all (tongue-tied) due to the lingual frenum attachment placement which can be surgically corrected.

Tongue: Tongue protruding from mouth

Question 3

what kind of disease/condition causes involuntary tongue protrusion?

Accepted Answer

Habit or : It could be a habit you developed over time.  If this is the case, a dentist can make an appliance to try to stop the habit. It could also be a neurological problem so for this i would recommend a neurologist and i would probably start there and rule out the medical  end of things.  Don't wait too long.

Question 4

5 mo. dysarthria w tongue elevated in back like slide w horzntl indention&dip in indention. no tongue protrusion passed teeth. dr/therapist no idea. ?

Accepted Answer

Have you had an MRI?: You should have a full neuro workup, including MRI of the spine and brain to rule out ms and other neuro lesions. Also consider emg. See a neurologist for a full workup. Hope that helps.

Question 5

ive been under severe chronic stress from trauma. dr. said i have gad. couple days after taking one antidepressant, had an involuntary eye roll, tongue protrusion, involuntary grimacing, raising eyebrows, one time. could this be tardive dyskinesia?

Accepted Answer

: .You don't mention what the medication was. Tardive dyskinesia takes at least a few months to develop as a side effect. Your symptoms seemed characteristic of it but I don't think they were caused by 2 days of that medication. Nevertheless notify your prescribing physician of those symptoms and get advice and instructions.

Question 6

i have these protrusions on the bottom of my tongue. they are on both sides and they kinda stick out. what are they?

Accepted Answer

Tongue anatomy: It's probably normal anatomy but would have to be personally visualized in order to give you an accurate answer and confirm my suspicion.

Question 7

i had braces with 4 extraction to address bimaxillary protrusion. i still have mild "fullness" in my mouth. would my protrusion worsen without surgery?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry: Not possible to diagnose your dento-facial relationships without a comprehensive examination.  Was jaw surgery recommended before you started Orthodontic Treatment?  If so, who made the decision to wait until after completion of Orthodontics to revisit possible need for surgery.  Please seek consultation with both an Orthodontic Specialist and an Oral surgeon to review your needs.

i was in an accident. sustained intraoral lesion inside my mouth. it healed with some protrusion & light pull feel. what is a good non-invasive followup regimen to soften & flatten it? plse specify, for ex:1 laser treatment a month for up to 4 mnths?

Accepted Answer

: One cannot specify what treatment you may or may not need without an examination. Please see an oral surgeon or ENT for an exam.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Tooth Movement: Tooth movement will not occur if you breathe through your mouth.
