Why does my tongue crack no the side?

So many options: Your cracked tongue could be due to many things. The best diagnosis is from your dentist. Among the possibilities, fissured tongue, geographic tongue, clenching and grinding your teeth and others. You could also have a growth of some sort so find a definitive answer from someone who is knowledgable and follow-up-able. Peace, .
