Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as your wife had tender black spot on tongue this can be due to poor oral hygiene there is deposition of food , drug induced , depapillation of papillae , median romboid glositis , geographic tongue .
I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for proper examination of oral cavity and tongue and rule out the cause of discoloration of tongue , if needed go for investigation Cytology of blackish portion of tongue .
In meantime maintain proper oral hygiene , use tongue scraper to clean your tongue , use mouthwash regularly.

Hope this will help you
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
