Can geographic tongue be caused by h pylori?

Dr. Robert Devin answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Geographic tongue: H.Pylorii is a stomache/ GI infection. Geographic tongue has recently been linked to candida albicans. It is usually subacute and considered part of the normal oral flora. The exception is when the candida becomes opportunistic and attacks the tongue and other oral tissues. Professional attention should be sought.
