Tongue pain can be alarming. While often caused by accidental biting or hot foods, persistent pain shouldn't be ignored.
Common causes include:
- Trauma: Biting the tongue or sharp tooth edges.
- Canker Sores: Small, painful ulcers.
- Vitamin Deficiency: Lack of B12 or Iron.
- Oral Cancer: If a sore doesn't heal in 2 weeks, schedule a screening immediately.
