White patch is a very vague term. It can vary from an innocuous ulcer to a potentially significant lesion. Do not ignore any colour change in the soft tissue. Also, the Dentist will need to know your habits and detailed history. They need to examine the surface texture, of the lesion and may take a sample tissue for further examination.Kindly visit a Dentist immediately.
