Abstract

Glossitis, an inflammatory condition of the tongue, results from various factors such as nutritional deficiencies, infections, allergies, and systemic diseases. It manifests as redness, swelling, pain, and changes in tongue texture, often affecting oral health and overall well-being. Prevention involves balanced nutrition, good oral hygiene, and avoiding irritants. Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause, including supplementation for deficiencies, antimicrobial therapies, or managing underlying conditions. Symptomatic relief and hydration are also essential. Understanding glossitis and its associations with systemic health is crucial for effective prevention and management. This article highlights its etiology, symptoms, prevention, and treatment strategies.
