Treatment
The management and treatment of atrophic glossitis involve eliminating the source of irritation, disease, trauma, or allergic reaction. As with any abnormal mouth condition, a prompt appointment with a dental professional is recommended for assessment and treatment options. In some cases, additional evaluation, testing and long-term monitoring of the condition may be necessary to rule out malignant lesions. Oral care specialists want to be certain all abnormal areas of the tongue are monitored, since some oral lesions can be early manifestations of systemic conditions.
Your dental provider is the best source for recommendations and referrals for addressing oral complications, so don't hesitate to make an appointment!
