Leukoplakia or "hairy" leukoplakia?
Hi everybody I have a question regarding this issue, the question is: would a dentist notice the difference between normal leukoplakia and hairy leukoplakia? she checked my tongue and she said that the white patch on the side of it might be due to an aspirin that I placed on the floor of my mouth like a month ago, and in her opinion it will go away alone, but if it dosen't she told me she will send me to a stomatologist (i'm not sure if it's called that way) and to relax, that the worse that can happen is that he/she will make a surgery and remove that plaque to prevent anything. If what I have is hairy leukoplakia do you think she would have done or recomend something different? Pelase let me know what you think and thanks in advance for your help
Thanks Vance, if anyone else could tell me if a dentist would realize I will appreciate it
Look at the forums and see which on works best...maybe a dental community or ear, nose and throat.
