What Causes Itchy Sores On Tongue ?

The tip of my tongue is very irritated and it is incredibly painful. My teeth are also sore. Especially when I bite down, even if I'm not biting onto something. If I clench my jaw, ALL of my teeth hurt. They almost feel loose. I also have a very sore spot on the inside of my bottom lip in front of my teeth. Right about where the tip of my tongue hits the inside of my lip. Does anyone know what could be causing all of this? Does it sound serious? Also, if anyone has any suggestions about what to do about the pain?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy sores on your tongue along with pain when bite your teeth . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like burning mouth symdrom , oral thrush , viral infection , vitamin deficiency lichen planus and pemphigus vulgaris . It can also occur sometimes due to problem in temporomandibular joint and acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination and to find out exact cause . Doctor may perform oral prophylaxis and may refer you to oral pathologist depending upon the diagnosis . For now maintain proper oral hygiene , do warm saline rinses , avoid hot and acidic food and use orabase gel for itchiness .
