Glossitis: There are many possibilities including tooth paste allergy, vitamin deficiency, dry mouth, yeast overgrowth, medication effect, poor dentition, and especially inflammatory diseases that can only be diagnosed by an expert and/or with a biopsy. You need to see an ent, oral surgeon, or oral pathologist.
