Dr. Zhang Liwen
For geographic tongue, in the absence of obvious symptoms, it is recommended to alleviate anxiety and fear through psychological counseling, maintain a regular daily routine, ensure sufficient sleep, and practice good oral hygiene. When symptoms recur, medical evaluation is advised to identify and treat potential triggers, thereby preventing further episodes. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain oral cleanliness, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush for brushing teeth.
