Mouth Patches

• Sharp tooth surfaces, fillings, crowns, improperly mounted dentures come into contact with gums or cheeks from the inside.
• Continuous smoking, pipe smoking, eating tobacco products.
• Exposing lips to the sun.
• Oral cancer is rare.
• Herpes virus or AIDS.

• White or gray spots appear on the tongue, gums, mouth ceiling, or on the cheeks from the inside.
• As the weeks go by and possibly months go by, these spots become thick, prominent, and eventually their membranes become rough and harsh.
• Their appearance is usually not accompanied by any pain, but they are sensitive when touched, exposed to heat, when eating marinated foods or when exposed to any other irritating causes in the mouth.

Your dentist can suspect you of oral spots by performing some tests, but it is advisable to remove live tissue from the mouth for study and examination to rule out any other diseases that may be a health complication, such as oral cancer. You are drugged first so you don't feel any pain when you remove the living tissue from your mouth, specifically from a stain in the mouth and examine it in the lab.
