8. Prevention
Many cases are unavoidable. However, some simple measures can lower their risk. Maintaining good brushing and flossing techniques can prevent infections and inflammation in the mouth. Avoiding irritants such as spicy or very acidic foods and tobacco smoke can also make contracting glossitis less likely. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet prevents dietary deficiencies and lowers the risk of tongue inflammation.
