Felt Stinging Sensation On Tongue After Brushing Teeth. What Is Going On?
Hi , last night when I brushed my teeth I suddenly felt a stinging sensation on my tongue (a little like there was glass shards in that area) and when I looked I saw that that area of my tongue (kinda centre towards the front) is rather red. This morning the sensation is still there today...its senstive to touch like tootbrush, teeth etc...
Redness and sensitivity on tongue suggests that the tongue mucosa is inflammed. This can be due to allergy to certain tooth pastes and mouth rinses, traumatic tooth brushing or tongue cleaning .injury to tongue due to hot food stuffs, Deficiency of certain vitamins also leads to redness and sourness. You can apply antiseptic and analgesic oral ointment like mucopain topically which provides numbing effect. Multivitamin supplement like zincovit and vitamin C lozenges helps in quick healing. drink lot of water to keep yourself hydrated and citrus juice. i hope that helps you , take care.
Hello & welcome
there may be several causes for such type of spots, this may be:
median rhomboid glossitis, fungal infection, some allergic reaction,aspirin burn or trauma.
only after clinical examination anybody can comment.
sometime if you scrap some fungal infection some tiny bleeding spots remains behind or there may be accidentally intake of very hot beverage also.
please visit your dentist for proper checkup
thanks & take care
