If the white spot is only visible with a flashlight, not increasing in size, and not painful, it is usually harmless. It can be a normal variation of the tongue surface, mild frictional change, or simple coating.
Since your doctor has already examined it and said it is normal, that is reassuring.
You should get it checked again if it increases in size, becomes painful, causes burning sensation, or does not improve for more than 2–3 weeks.
Maintain good oral hygiene, clean your tongue gently, drink plenty of water, and avoid tobacco if applicable.
If you are still concerned, consult a dentist or oral physician for proper evaluation.
