6. Diagnosis

Because fissured tongue is usually clearly visible, doctors can diagnose the issue with a simple clinical assessment. In some cases, a medical expert may perform tests to ensure there are no underlying conditions or to exclude other possible issues. The most common diagnostic test is a biopsy, though blood or urine tests are also possible.
