Geographic tongue: Geographic tongue per se does not cause bad breath. See your dentist for an exam and evaluation to see what's causing your bad breath. There are also medical issues that can cause this. For some general information see: http://smilesapartcosmeticdentist.Com/fresh-breath-control.Htm.

Geographic tongue: is a benign condition affecting the surface of your tongue. Although geographic tongue may look bad, it is harmless. In some cases patient may experience discomfort or burning sensation related to a certain foods. It is idiopathic permanent condition and not a cause for bad breath. See your dentist for evaluation the real reason for your bad breath.
