7. Treatments

Most cases of fissured tongue do not require any treatment. However, maintaining proper oral care is a necessity. Brushing the top of the tongue can clean the fissures and remove any remaining food debris. This prevents bacteria and plaque that can contribute to bad breath or tooth decay. Dentists or oral hygienists may recommend a specific cleaning plan for some people with fissured tongues.
