Could a bunch of little red bumps on the tip your tongue and some side be caused by scraping teeth across tongue?

Yes, scraping your teeth across your tongue can cause irritation and lead to the formation of little red bumps on the tip and sides of your tongue. This is known as traumatic glossitis.

When you scrape your tongue with your teeth, it can cause the delicate tissues of your tongue to become damaged and inflamed. This inflammation can lead to the formation of small red bumps, which can be painful and uncomfortable. In some cases, the bumps may also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as:

* A burning or stinging sensation on the tongue

* Difficulty speaking or swallowing

* Bad breath

* A white or yellow coating on the tongue

If you are experiencing little red bumps on your tongue and you think they may be caused by scraping your teeth across your tongue, it is important to see a doctor or dentist to rule out other potential causes. Your doctor or dentist can also recommend treatment options to help relieve your symptoms and prevent further damage to your tongue.

In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help reduce the irritation and discomfort associated with traumatic glossitis:

* Avoid scraping your tongue with your teeth.

* Use a soft toothbrush when brushing your teeth.

* Avoid eating spicy, acidic, or salty foods.

* Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

* Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to help relieve pain.

If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if you develop any new symptoms, it is important to see a doctor or dentist right away.
