It could be innocuous, but better consult a dentist or an Oral Medicine specialist, especially if you have burning sensation while eating spicy food.

Hello,
The white lines on sides of your tongue are generally normal, however if lines are thick and dense then that might be because of tongue often getting in between the bite from the sides. Consult your dentist once to get a better opinion on that.

It may be normal as these lines occur at the occlusal level of teeth . They are called linea alba and are normal. However it is best to have your dentist take a look when you go for your routine dental check up
