I am having swollen tongue with tooth marks?

Possible: A swollen tongue that impinges on your airway or ability to breathe constitutes a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. A large tongue in a small jaw will often show a scalloped edge reflecting the presence of the lower teeth.

Scalloped Tongue: There's a number of reasons why you may get scalloped tongue, such as swelling, a narrow lower jaw or systemic health problems (e.g. sleep apnea). Treatment of this condition involves treating the underlying problem.
