What could a white patch in the mouth mean? is it serious?

White patch in mouth: Any part of your mouth that is white or a different color could be a concern. It could be as simple as a food allergy or as serious as oral cancer. Although oral cancer is rare it should be taken very seriously. Schedule an appointment with your dentist for an evaluation.
