White Spots on Gums

White Spots on Gums

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you knew what this might be.  I just looked in my mouth and noticed white spots on my gums.  There were about 3-4 spots scattered on my upper and lower gums.  I was able to scrape away the white spots with my finger nail.  A couple of them were kind of clear and one or two of them were bright white.  They were not painful either.  Should I be worried about anything?

-Thanks in advance.

See your dentist if you have a concern.

use an mouth wash like listerine to see if it helps but usually mouth infections are common especially when you are looking for something to be wrong with your body
