A member asked:
Can post nasal drip cause roof of mouth on hard palate to be white?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post nasal drip: Possibly it could be from the mucus present from the post nasal drip. If it lasts for more than a week I would have your dentist take a look at it. It could be a sign of something else.
