Hello doctor,
For a long time, I have had a small white spot on the inner side of my right upper gum near the molar. It rarely itches or hurts. What is this, and how do I get rid of it?Please suggest.
Thank you.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I forgot to mention that I feel bony, like the other side.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
If you feel a bony area in your jaw, it is important to determine whether it feels like rubbery tissue or like a hole in the bone. If it is the latter, there could be many jaw-based lesions that require further diagnosis. To help me prescribe the proper treatment, please confirm whether it feels like a pimple or a hole in the bone by observing carefully in the mirror and touching the area.
Regards.
