The cause of the disease.
Non-observance of simple hygiene rules leads to diseases of the teeth and gums. At the same time, the number of pathogenic microbes in the oral cavity increases, which contribute to the appearance of tipun on the tongue.
The appearance of ulcers on the mucous membrane provokes the use of spicy food, as well as various injuries during eating that can cause fish bones, husks of nuts or seeds. This problem can also occur due to improperly installed dental crowns and dentures. Pathogenic microflora enters the damaged tissue, and a tip appears, which in medicine is called glossitis. The risk factors that trigger this problem include nicotine and alcohol, as well as caramel. This growth can also occur as a result of an allergy to toothpaste and various fresheners.
