8) GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE

Although interested in all aspects of childhood allergy. Dr. Marks attention was focused especially on (1) dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners) and (2) the role played by mouth breathing and persistent nasal allergy in the development of orofacial dental deformities.
Early management of allergic respiratory tract disease is essential if its long-term consequences are to be prevented or minimized. The opportunity for early management is enhanced when one becomes familiar with the various early physical manifestations of respiratory tract allergy.
