Geographic tongue generally does not require specific treatment and often resolves on its own. However, for patients with recurrent episodes, it is important to identify potential triggers whenever possible. It is also essential to avoid fatigue, ensure sufficient sleep, maintain a varied diet, and obtain adequate nutrition. In daily life, attention should be paid to oral hygiene to maintain good oral health and prevent accompanying infections.
