White spot on tongue
I'm attaching a picture of tongue. This white spot is on my tongue from 6-7 months. I have tried ointment/B12 meds etc. Gone for physical examination to a dentist as well but they said that there is nothing to worry. I do not have any symptoms as well. My just one and only question is it okay to have this white spot for this much time? Like is it okay if doesn't go away?!
Please reply in best possible way that i can understand.
