In professional terms, tooth marks around the edges of the tongue is called a scalloped tongue. This is one sign that a person might be clenching and grinding their teeth, especially at night during sleep. Ask your dentist if there are other signs that you might be doing this.

This condition is also described in hypothyroid patients, but as I've stated before sleep apnea can cause hypothyroidism.
