If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is probably a duck! Those marks that look like teeth, probably are teeth..yours. You have most likely pressed your tongue against your teeth subconsciously and have created those indentations. It could have also occurred while you slept. Do you have a complete dentition? If not your tongue maybe slightly larger than before and it may passively rest against your teeth and cause those marks. Good Luck

It is likely that you are "biting" it - actually putting pressure on it with your teeth while you sleep. It is very common, like grinding, etc.

ya u probly bit ur tong while dreamin or somethin

Hmm, according to traditional chinese medicine, the tongue has many relationships and connections in the body, and i think your tongue condition is a reflection of the disharmony in your body.

According to the websites which i have researched,
Teeth Marks on Tongue Body (Scalloped)

If the tongue body has normal color, this usually indicates Spleen Qi Deficiency
If there are teeth marks together with a swollen tongue, this may indicate Spleen Yang and/or Qi Deficiency.
If the tongue is also pale and moist, it is more likely Spleen Yang Deficiency or a Cold-Damp pattern.

Hence i think you may be experiencing some stomach/intestine problems lately. If that is the case, you may like to consult a doc.
