The veins under both sides of my tongue have dark purple dots, about 30 or so on each side, eminating from the larger veins. I noticed it today when I was holding a mirror in a dentists office while he was working on a crown 9he was checking the color). I m not sure how long they ve been there, but when I asked the dentist, he said check with your doctor , which made me concerned because if it were not an indication of a serious condition, I would have expected him to say no problem, etc. Thanks!
Hello, Does it appear to be related to trauma or an allergic type of irritation? Think of any new products or changes in food made recently. Monitor the area for additional changes now that you have noticed this condition. If there seems to be small hematomas or blood filled areas, your doctor may suggest basic blood tests. This will check function of blood cells and clotting ability. I suggest scheduling a routine physical exam based on your dentists' recommendation. Without more clinical information, I can't provide many suggestions. I hope this gives you some guidance. Thank you for your inquiry.
