White Spots on Tongue

[MadeleineACluter]

Why are there white spots on the top of my tongue?

[Anna Desosa]

White spots on the tongue can be caused by various factors, including oral thrush (a fungal infection), leukoplakia (a condition that causes white patches due to irritation), oral lichen planus (an autoimmune disorder), or simply from irritation or trauma to the tongue. It's a good idea to have them checked by a dentist or healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, if needed.

dental patients can also develop white spots if they eat a diet high in sugar, resulting in acidic plaque.
