Hello, thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually the vascularity of tongue is very good , so healing is very good in cases of tongue. But as you are mentioning that if there is a white spot on the tongue , it means that while process of healing some infection might have occurred, so better to visit a good dentist and get it irrigated with chemical solution. As it will help in removing of infection
Hope it will help you.
