Leukopallakia in buccal mucosa
Sir, I have a deep cut on the side of tongue due to sharpness of my one teeth which has silver filling in it. My dentist although grinded the side and prescribed me Candid Paint, zincovit M for leukopallakia in buccal mucosa. But side cuts of my tongue is not heeling! It is almost 20 days passed. Please advice.
The cause of increase in lesion may have been the sharp portion of tooth which has been grinded..The healing will be seen after 2-3 weeks if you follow the prescription given by the dentist avoiding sharp,hot or spicy food..Quit the habits like smoking or drinking as they may aggravate the situation.

It will take time.
Now that the cause is removed ( trimmed) it will start healing.
Wait for 1 month.
If it still persists ....consult your dentist again.
Quit habits if you have any. Habits like smoking alcohol or tobacco will delay healing. Your habit quiting will also subside leukoplakia
