7. Risk Factors
People with orthodontic devices such as braces or dentures are more likely to get glossitis because they have an increased risk of trauma to the mouth and tongue. People with immune system disorders or herpes infections are also at a higher risk. Food allergies, eating spicy foods, and diets low in key nutrients are also risk factors.
