This makes a human tongue imprint as unique as a fingerprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average person has about 10,000 taste buds in their mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single taste bud contains between 50 and 100 taste cells, which may have sensors for multiple tastes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No individual taste cell can identify both bitter and sweet flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 milliliter of saliva contains about 1,000,000 bacteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a tongue scraper to clean your tongue is proven to help prevent osteoporosis, pneumonia, heart attacks, premature births, diabetes, and male infertility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health issues involving the tongue are most commonly caused by bacteria or tobacco use. Proper cleaning of the tongue can help prevent these conditions from developing. However, if you notice sores, discoloration, or other symptoms, contact our office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tongue-affecting illnesses include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Leukoplakia \u2013 excessive cell growth characterized by white patches in the mouth and on the tongue. It is not dangerous, but can be a precursor to oral cancer.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Oral thrush \u2013 an oral yeast infection common after antibiotic use, often characterized by cottage-cheese like white patches on the surface of the tongue and mouth.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Red tongue \u2013 may be caused by a deficiency of folic acid and\/or vitamin B-12.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Hairy tongue \u2013 black and\/or hairy-feeling tongue can be caused by build-up of bacteria.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Canker sores \u2013 small ulcerous sores on the tongue, often associated with stress. These sores are not the same as cold sores and are not contagious.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Oral cancer \u2013 most sore tongue issues are not serious.
