This is commons when you retain fluids. Your tongue retains fluid just like the rest of your body and gets scalloped when pressed against your teeth. It can be an indicator of thyroid disfunction so you may want to get your thyroid levels checked. Other than that, drink more water to pass retained fluids.

Hi Nicola, not sure if you will even still need to know this but don't worry!!! I have them too. Everyone does. They are your taste buds! They are right at the back of your tongue on both sides. Normally you wouldn't see then unless you poke your tongue right out as far as you can. Honestly. Nothing to worry about :D xx
