thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the white spot could be secondary to chronic irritation by the oppsoing tooth or food or denture that result in frictional keratosis. consult a oral physician and try to find out the cause and rectify it. nothing to worry about it, it is harmless. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
