White spot: Make an appointment to have this examined by your dentist. It needs to be seen clincally, and it may need to be biopsied.

White spot: Any mouth lesion that does not clear completely in 14 days requires further investigation. Depending on size, location, duration, color, and other clinical findings a biopsy may be in order. See your General Dentist or an Oral Surgeon immediately.
