Human language is an indicator that allows you to diagnose the presence of acquired diseases and determine the general condition of the affected organism.
Normally, a person's tongue has a pink color without puffiness and plaque.
But when there are various kinds of pathologies in the organs, then the tongue is covered with deposits of microorganisms, teeth imprints on the altered surface of the sides of the tongue.

Dental causes of the symptom
Imprints on the tongue from the teeth can talk about the manifestation of diseases of the neglected nervous and respiratory systems, the oral cavity or the gastrointestinal tract.
The reasons taken include:
- Atypical bite.
- Atrophic glossitis of severe form.
- Hyperxerostomy.
As a rule, fingerprints in the affected tongue from the teeth are fixed with its swelling and increase in volume. The body is painted in a dark red or clearly crimson shade with a smooth reflective surface. At the same time, patients have a negative change in diction, eating and wearing established prostheses is complicated, accompanied by stress.
Bite formation begins in the adolescent transition period. And in the case of the incorrect formation of the tooth tiers, the actions during chewing of food get off; accelerated wear of tooth enamel, damaged tongue, inner part of cheeks and gums.
During treatment, bracket constructions, trainers or orthodontic plastics are used. Only a dentist can choose the required type of system based on the individual characteristics of the patient and the type of bite.
This disease of inflammatory properties, such as glossitis of the dystrophic form, is characterized by smoothing or complete disappearance of the papillae from the surface of the tongue. At the same time, the tongue swells, becomes “varnished”, becomes covered with erosions or stains.
This ailment occurs under the influence of beriberi, fungal and viral infections, mechanical lesions of the tongue or tumors.
While eating, patients feel burning and pain. Erosions due to the effect of infection become ulcers, accumulated necrotic deposits, worsening the overall condition of the person.
The size of the tongue increases, which causes teeth marks on the lateral parts of the organ.
This type of disease, after a thorough examination, is cured by a dentist, anti-infective rinses, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, gels and ointments for topical use.
Xerostomia is a violation of the function of the generation of saliva in a typical oral cavity. At the same time the body becomes crimson with a dry surface. All this is accompanied by swelling, cracks and marks from the lining on the tongue of the chewing teeth.
The patient has swallowing and ingestion of obstructed property due to pain and the disappearance of important taste sensations.
Causes of non-oral pathologies
Grounds that have no relationship to dentistry are divided into:
- Depression and failure of the nervous system.
- The twisted position of the tongue.
- Pathology of the intestine and cavity of the stomach.
Imprints of the relief of the posterior teeth on a human tongue are often fixed in people suffering increased level of agitation, excessive nervousness, leading to compression of the jaw or biting of the tongue. As a result, mucous membranes clothed in wounds or prints.
In the case when side injuries occur frequently, glossitis and stomatitis may develop due to the penetration of microbes into the affected areas of the tongue.
A neurologist will help to cope with this disease. And after undergoing the treatment prescribed by him, such signs will not be disturbed.
The curvature of the tongue is formed due to injury of the hypoglossal nerve when the tongue is placed between the working surfaces of the teeth.
With regular damage deep prints remain. Also, the curvature of the tongue can occur due to a stroke, myasthenia, and multiple sclerosis. From the detrimental effect of these diseases, an important pituitary gland, located in the brain, is impaired, forcing the coordination of daily body movements.
As a rule, the risk group includes people in the elderly.
Disorders in the normal operation of the gastrointestinal tract stimulate the generation of microbial plaque of a dense structure. And in the primary stages, it has a white color, and in the advanced stages - yellow, brown or green.
It is important to pay attention that the harmful plaque lives not only on the mucous membranes, but also on the enamel of the nearby teeth.
The correct method of treatment in this case is determined by the gastroenterologist, guided by the symptoms - teeth imprints, nausea, heaviness and abdominal cramps, flatulence and a disturbance in the emptying of the intestinal canal.
Hypothyroidism and pellagra diseases
In the case when the thyroid gland produces insufficient level of necessary hormoneshypothyroidism begins to develop.
In the first stages, there is no obvious symptoms of the disease. But at the time of progression such signs as:
-
Puffiness of facial muscles. - Puffiness of mucous membranes.
- Alopecia (hair loss).
- The provoked lethargy of the vocal apparatus, violation of diction.
- Voice change.
- Chewing teeth prints on the tongue.
Getting rid of hypothyroidism is carried out by an endocrinologist, performing the accepted therapy to normalize the patient's hormone levels.
Pellagra is a subspecies of avitaminosis deviation, manifested due to unbalanced nutrition and deficiency of vitamin PP, as well as proteins and the required number of amino acids. In the course of which the patient notes: intense irritability, malfunction of the nervous system, obvious dementia, finite paralysis, rapid baldness, dermatitis, diarrhea and glossitis.
If during pellagra glossitis is detectedthen teeth marks are easily traced in the swollen tongue. Often this disease affects people of socially unstable level - with low incomes and drunken lifestyle.
It is important to perform a full-fledged treatment in order to avoid death.
Language spots geography
In addition, the existing plaque on the language there are signs denouncing the presence of diseases in a particular human organ. Therefore, when a patient is diagnosed with a “geographic” language with the corresponding variegated patches of heterogeneous colors, reporting mental disorders, gastrointestinal ailments in a chronic form.
In the case when the root of the tongue is exposedAs a rule, nephritis, ulcerative colitis or cancer is detected. But if the organ is a goal in the central part, then neuralgia of the face, shock or gastritis is detected.
In a situation where the edge of the tongue is covered with cracks, problems with the gall bladder and liver are diagnosed, since this area of the tongue is directly connected with the indicated organs.
If at the time of the examination, the doctor marks characteristic bubbles on the tip of the tongue, as a rule, this indicates existing diseases of the heart muscle, external pericardium or lungs. Ailments can be hidden in the form of pharyngitis, sinusitis, exacerbated pneumonia, tormenting bronchitis, dangerous ischemic heart disease and pathological heart failure.
In terms of detection of varicose veins excessive vein enlargement, localized in the sublingual region, is usually determined by the presence of hemorrhoids, hyper elevated venous pressure or the presence of a hereditary factor regarding venous varicose dilatation.
Especially this symptom is indicated for heart failure due to atrial fibrillation, as well as damage to specific valves.
The phenomenon of trembling tongue is found in patients with epilepsy, twitching, tremors and chorea.
The teeth imprints on the tongue on the facial areas are characterized by neuroses in a latent form, so the more intense the neurosis, the more obvious the traces. Edge prints also indicate poor-quality digestion of food by the intestines.

A mandatory measurement of heart rate and blood pressure is performed.
