A member asked:

What do you suggest if my tongue has cracks on it and hurts. what caused it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry mouth and/or: Candidiasis (thrush) are two good possibilities. Your dentist should be able to give you a more concise diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment. It is not possible to diagnosis your condition with out an exam.
