Bumps on the underside of my tounge

by dp13, Sep 19, 2009 09:45PM
Im 17 years old. I have had these 3 bumps on the bottom of my tounge and never really payed much attention to them. it seem like theres some white things in my mouth and im not sure. I tried once to point out the issue to my parents and the said i was being paranoid and maybe it was thrush. What could the bumps with white be? does thrust cause that? what should i do to get my parents to really look?

You should bring it up with your family dentist. I would recommend going to the dentist just to see what it is for peace of mind.  Thrush probably wouldn't appear as a white bump but more of a white patch.  If its a bump, its best to get it checked out to be sure its nothing serious.
