Hi, I have a white head spot on the posterior lateral tongue , it looks shiny and white. It has been there for 3 weeks, and although I have been to show it to a dentist he didnt think it was a cause for concern but did not say what it may be. This was over a week ago, and the little spot is still there. It is painless but if I do try to probe it, it feels like there is something on my tongue bothering me. thanks
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor forum. The white spot may be arose due to-Tongue biting habit caused by sharp edges of tooth. Aphthous ulcers arose due to vitamin deficiency. Poor oral hygiene. Apply topical steroid on the affected area. Floss your tongue with tongue scrapers. Take plenty of fluids and nutritious diet. Take care.
