See Dentist: Make sure you know what you are dealing with. If this lesion hasn't been biopsied and given a diagnosis, that may be the first place to begin. White lesions in the mouth can be one of many different things, so get it checked out!

Remove the cause: Leukoplakia is the white patch that will not wipe off, an indication of epithelial change or thickening. When turn to red, it becomes erythroplakia and then leads to acanthosis and carcinoma in situ. Smoking, excess alcohol that irritates the mucosa are some example of the cause. Remove the cause will definitely help.

Proper diagnosis : leukoplakia is a white or gray patch that develops in tongue, cheek or floor of mouth. A biopsy will properly diagnose and determining and eliminating the cause( irritation bitting, smoking, drugs, alcohol) most likely observation is done where lesion can disappear after several weeks. If biopsy is positive then surgical removal might be necessary.
