Question about tongue splitting?

Too new: I would be worried about the harm to taste buds. That would affect your enjoyment of the flavor of food.

Question?: What do you want to know? Cause? Duration? Sensitivity? Subsequent problems? For best advice seek examination by specialist Oral Surgeon or specialist Oral Pathologist.
