Horizontal white line inside cheek
I have discovered white line inside cheek (both sides) 2 months back.
I had left chewing tobacco since then however i usually smoke two to three cigarettes in a day.
I had consulted two dentists and done scaling and cleaning of teeth and they said it's normal and not to worry.
White line still not going away and i am very much worried if it turned out to be cancer or something.
It had no such pain but always feels as i have something in mouth.
Doctors had given me antioxidants and i am taking it regularly.
