White patch
My dad had burning in mouth 1 year back by taking medicines it cleared up and he had white patches on both sides but we didn't went to dentist since then but after hearing about leukoplakia on YouTube I'm concerned and dentist that time told to do biopsy to be on safer side he never chewed and never took ciggarette so should we do biopsy or not? Pictures attached? Photos are clear of whole mouth?

A white patch isn't always leukplakia so do not panic but visit a dentist nearby you and let him examine. If biopsy is needed after the clinical examination, go for it it's always better to be sure about the diagnosis.

Don't worry . Not every white lesion is a leukoplakia. You should consult a dentist and take an advice. Don't panic
