What Could Cause Swelling In Tongue While Having Dental Implants?
What can be causing my tongue to swell? I have had recurring episodes over the past week. Went to the ER twice. I have cut out any foods that might cause issues and ate only jello for two days. I do have dental implants but have had them for 8 months. What could be causing this?

Hello and welcome.
Tongue swelling could be due to tissue injury or trauma.it could also be due to mild to moderate infection especially fungal infection.
therefore please see your dentist once for clinical evaluation.
meanwhile do gargling with warm saline and avoid using tongue cleaner.
hope it helps.
thanks.
take care.
