Sir, a white patch on the tongue might well be perfectly innocuous, but there is never any harm in being cautious. Get an opinion from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to ensure thorough evaluation and necessary treatment if necessary. If nothing else, it will satisfy you of its harmless character.
Next Steps
Seek an appointment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for assessment
