Hello, I have had a dry spot on my gums over the past couple of weeks with what appears to be white spots.  The spot is under my bottom K-9.  I am a little concerned because I was a chewer for a few years.  I have not had any tobacco since January but I am worried that my bad habit is catching up with me.  The spots dont itch or hurt, they just wont go away.  Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white spot could be a leukoplakia or frictional keratitis or candida infection. Consult an oral physician and get yourself to rule out the above said conditions. If it is leukoplakia you have to take antioxidants like capsule lycopene and quit the habit permanently. If it is candidiasis then you have to take topical antifungal like candid ointment. If it is frictional keratitis then we have to remove the causes like any sharp usual edges should be rounded off. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
