• Painless white patches should never be ignored.

There are many lesions of the mouth that looks white . A shared picture might be much helpful to identify.any treatment or medication is dependent on the type of lesion/ patch . However these white patches are totally curable with medication / laser therapy. You may visit a dentist and get it checked.

Hii those white patches can be any possible thing such as ulcer , continued cheek bite which have probably become painless , if you have any tobacco habit then it could be due to that , leukoplakia and more
But let's be at a positive part and not skip to the scary one's
Next Steps
you should Firstly maintain your oral hygiene, stop tobacco chewing if you do , avoid spicy and hot food for a while and use bitadine gargle diluted with water, any antifungal ointment and multivitamin coarse for a month
Health Tips
also I would suggest to visit your nearby Clinic as clinically it would make more sense
