I have recently discovered that the roof of my mouth has a faint white color. I do have some sort of cough right now could that be the reason for discoloration on the roof of my mouth? It doesnt seem to be sore or anything just discolored. Could this be cancer?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, After reading through your query I would like to inform you that slight white discoloration of the palate(roof of your mouth) is normal, until it is associated with ulcers.white discoloration can be from nutritional deficiencies, burn from hot food or Chat Doctor. I am glad to hear that it is not sore, for now I will advise you to keep an eye on the discoloration and do visit your dentist on regular basis to check for any changes in color, size or form in the future. I hope I answered your query, i wish you a very good health, take care.
