Can burning your tongue cause permanent damage?!


Question: Can burning your tongue cause permanent damage.?
Like, if you burn it once a week, not like real bad or anything but just burning it slightly alot could you lose your tastebuds.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If you drank a hot drink once a week and mildly burned your tongue, I don't think so. The tongue is moist, giving it the ability to heal quickly. However, if you are licking the stove every week, you might want to stop it (jk). Just be patient and wait for your food or drinks to cool if that's why this keeps happening.

That's an interesting question. I always wonder how people can drink scolding hot cups of coffee when it can barely be hot for me and it burns my mouth. I wonder if people just get use to it. Your tongue is a fast healing part of your body. I'm sure if you were really burning it bad everyday you might lose sensitivity. Health Question & Answer
