Cause

[edit]

Transient lingual papillitis can affect males and females as early as 8 years of age. In many cases, the cause is unknown. Some dental professionals believe the inflammation is due to chronic irritation from teeth, fillings, or dental appliances. Body changes, stress, poor nutrition, smoking, and alcohol use may also be initiating factors.

Diagnoses

[edit]
  • Transient lingual papillitis is generally diagnosed based on present presentation, meaning where it is located in the mouth and how big the bump is.[1] The visual presentation can also be accompanied with various signs and symptoms such as difficulty eating, having a "strawberry tongue", extra saliva produced, and a burning or tingling sensation.[2]

Treatments

[edit]
  • While there is no pinpoint cure to treat this condition, some items can possibly lessen the pain such as antiseptic mouthwash, saltwater mouth rinses. Corticosteroids or topical steroids, coating medication, and antihistamines could also help alleviate the pain when its said to first start.[3] It is advised to practice oral hygiene, especially with children, and to avoid hot and spicy foods to avoid vexation on your tongue and the possibility of it showing back up.[4]
