Suggest Medication For A White Round Spot On The Gums
I have had a white round spot on my gums for several days now accompanied with a little bit of a sore throat. I thought that the spot may be a canker sore, but it doesn't have a red rim around it and I've never had one in the location where it is. Could this be a sign of something bad?
Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. This white spot can be an abscess opening from an infected tooth or food deposits on gums called as materia alba or just s normal variation. If this white spot is not painful or not creating any problem then just observe it for some days,but if there is pain or any discharge from it. Then better you visit a dentist and get it examined. Hope it will help you.
