A scalloped tongue gets its name from the wavy or rippled indentations that appear along the sides of a person’s tongue. A scalloped tongue is also known as:wavy tonguepie crust tonguecrenated tonguelingua indentataThe notches of a scalloped tongue are rarely painful. Any pain may be the result of the underlying condition that’s causing the ripples.The lining of your mouth, especially on the sides nearest your tongue, may become red or sensitive. This is rare, but more likely if you’re applying a significant amount of pressure or friction to the skin.
