Plica fimbriata

Plica fimbriata refers to the small folds in the membrane on the underside of your tongue. The folds tend to run parallel to, and on either side of your frenulum. The frenulum is the web of tissue that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. These growths are harmless. They are normal residual tissue not completely reabsorbed by the body during the development and growth of the tongue. Sometimes they can get caught in your teeth. If one of these bumps comes off, it can leave an open sore that’s vulnerable to infection. For most infections you may just need to use an antieptic mouthwash for a few days to keep the area clean.
