A member asked:

I've got a white line on the side of my tongue i had trouble talking and it was a bit sore. i used mouthwash and it almost went away it's not sore now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

White line: May be traumatic (bite/abrasion/burn), a micro-organism caused lesion, or a benign or pathologic neoplasm. Sounds like the lesion is healing despite the mouthwash that doesn't cure anything. Although it seems to be going away, if it lasts longer than 2 weeks it MUST be examined by your Dentist.
