What Does Small, Red Spots Under Tongue Indicate?
I am 55 years old, generally in good health. I went to the dentist today and afterwards noticed some small red spots on the underside of my tongue. They don't hurt and I didn't even know they were there. The dentist didn't really say anything about them. Is this anything I need to address?
