It isn't: While geographic tongue may not look very pretty, it is a benign condition without any need for treatment. In some unusual cases, where pain is involved, your dentist can prescribe certain medications that will offer some relief. In those cases, you should avoid eating spicy & hot foods or whatever does seem to produce more discomfort. Finally, make sure what you have is geographic tongue.
