Ask ur dentist orMD : Can't tell here; picture is worth a thousand words. Show your tongue to your dentist and/or doc.

Nothing: Everyone is different and having a rough or fissured tongue is very common and can be quite normal. If you have any concern, see your dentist or oral surgeon who can confirm.
