What's the matter with teeth marks on the edge of the tongue

In daily life, we need to pay attention to oral changes, which determine our physical health, so we should pay attention to it in normal times. If there are tooth marks on the edge of the tongue coating, this symptom indicates that the body is too fat or too weak, and caused by too much moisture. It needs to be adjusted slowly in normal times, and then combined with medication treatment.

Causes of Scalloped Tongue

Research has found that the main reason for the appearance of tooth-marked tongue is that the body is too obese, which causes compression of the tooth edges, so the tongue becomes heavier, and the color of the tongue becomes pale white and more moist, which is mainly due to cold and dampness.

If tooth-marked tongue appears on the body, it is very easy to identify. It can be discovered intuitively based on the changes in the external appearance, and it is less affected by external factors, such as food or medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scalloped tongue is mainly caused by yang deficiency, spleen deficiency, or qi deficiency in the body. Spleen deficiency may cause the body to be unable to transport and transform water and dampness, which can easily cause the tongue to become fat. Therefore, the main cause of scalloped tongue is spleen deficiency and excessive dampness.

Symptoms of scalloped tongue

1. The tongue is pale and appears moist, and there are traces of teeth on the edge of the tongue, which indicates that the cold and dampness in the body is quite serious;

2. If the tongue is light red and there are teeth marks around it, it means that the body has spleen deficiency or qi deficiency;

3. If the tongue is red and swollen, and there are marks of teeth around the tongue, it means that the body is damp and hot, and is accompanied by symptoms of excessive phlegm and turbid phlegm.

The scalloped tongue caused by qi deficiency and the scalloped tongue caused by yang deficiency can be distinguished as follows:

Tongue with tooth marks due to Qi deficiency: Patients with this condition mainly have a weak temper, the tongue coating is lighter in color and appears white, the tongue is relatively fat and tender, and there are tooth marks around the tongue. In addition, the patient's complexion is relatively pale or sallow, he is often short of breath and unwilling to talk, feels light-headed and swollen, and is prone to night sweats, decreased appetite, and lower abdominal swelling. When taking your pulse, you may find that it is relatively thin and weak, and you may also have diarrhea. In this case, if you want to restore your body to health, it is best to replenish the body and strengthen the Qi.

The shape is also relatively large, and there are marks of teeth around it. In addition, the patient's face is pale or blue-black, he looks tired, and his body is more tired and he doesn't like to exercise.
