I have sores on my tongue. I don’t know if this is due to my choice of Tooth Paste or something else.

Even though a sore tongue can be very worrisome, the good news is that most causes of sore tongue aren’t a reason for concern. Also, sores on the tongue are not caused by Tooth Paste. Some common causes of a sore tongue are; Trauma, Inflammation, Mouth ulcers, Food sensitivity or allergy, Smoking, Vitamin deficiency and anaemia. In addition, Oral thrush is a type of yeast infection that may cause tongue pain. You may see white patches that look like cottage cheese on your tongue. This infection is more common in babies and older adults, especially those who wear dentures or have weakened immune systems. You may develop oral thrush if you’ve recently taken antibiotics. It can also occur in people who use steroid inhalers to manage their asthma. Another rare cause of tongue pain is oral cancer. Again, there are many reasons you may have a sore tongue — cancer is only a remote possibility. All in all, if you notice pain with a lump or sore on your tongue that doesn’t go away, you may want to head to the doctor for a check up.
