White Growth On Tongue, Flexible, Soft. Tissue Tag?
i went to my dentist for a cleaning and I also had him look at my tongue . I have this white growth on my tongue that is flixible and small. It looks like a small projection from my tongue. My dentist told me not to be concerned that it was just a soft tissue tag. Is this possible. I pulled at it and it broke off but then grew back to the same size. I have had it for several weeks and it is not any bigger and has no pain.

Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef, a general surgeon answering your query.
From your history it appears to me that it probably is a benign papilloma of the tongue. Because it possibly is concerning you too much, I would go for an excisional biopsy of this soft tissue tag, and my further management will depend on the report from the laboratory.
Wishing you an early recovery. Thank you for using health care magic for your health query.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you might have developed a small beningn papilloma on the tongue an pathological testing with a biopsy of the lesion is required.
I would suggest you to visit to an Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done.
Exact diagnosis and treatment plan will be based upon the clinical evaluation and biopsy report.
Hope you find this information as helpful,
