Lump on tongue: There may be several reasons for a lump on your tongue to develop. However, without a history and or a biopsy it is impossible to tell what it is and i would advise to see an oral surgeon or your dentist asap/.

?: Don't jump to conclusions, see your dentist for advice & diagnosis. This is the easiest way to determine what is on your tongue.
