Need examination NOW: Recurrent or persistent red or white lesions in the mouth should be examined, and possibly biopsied, immediately. Please call your Dentist as soon as you read this. Referral to an Oral Surgeon may be prudent.

See a dentist first: Some conditions like white spot on the tongue may require further assessment, tests and your dentist may schedule a follow-up appointment or refer you to a specialist (Oral Surgeon) to determine a diagnosis. See your dentist first for evaluation.
