I have white spots on my upper gums and they hurt alot. Ive had a couple within the past month and at first I thoght it was a canker sore so I didnt mind it. But now that they keep comming back I feel like it might be due to the fact that I am a regular smoker? I do brush my teeth twice a day so Im sure thats not a problem. If you could assist me that would be great
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It looks that these white spots are not related to smoking as in that case they might have involved all over the gums. It looks that it is something associated with tooth, can be possible that the tooth in that area are infected and now abscess has been formed. Better you should get an x-ray done which will show the infection or else get cleaning of gums done, it can also be the cause. Hope it will help you.
