A member asked:
What are common tongue diseases in adults?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly Benign: Most tongue afflictions are benign. However, the one that is most destructive, of course is cancer. Make sure your dentist or hygienist does an oral cancer exam every time you get your teeth cleaned.
