White spots in mouth: A few things can cause white spots in the mouth. Lichen planus can be lacy thin white lines on the inside of the cheeks and/or white patches. Candida (yeast infection) can look like white patches or cheese curds. There are also longer lasting oral conditions that present as white patches known as leucoplakia that may be a sign of a more serious condition. All these need to be seen by a doctor.
