I have white spots in my mouth what type of doctor i will have to visit?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: White spots can be leukoplakia, fungal infection, pus or a response to an irritant. Do the spots come off? Where are they on the mouth? Do you smoke or chew tobacco? You can see a dentist or a primary care doc for starters. It may need a biopsy.
