it is best to have those checked out. If they are persistent, it might be wise to have it biopsied to rule out any concerns
You may have a fungus (yeast) infection which should be evaluated by your dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon.
There are a number of reasons for white spots on your gums. You should have them evaluated. Smokeless tobacco is a major cause. Some viruses can cause white spots. Also, you could have a fungal infection.
White spots or white lesions could be the result of some type of trauma, i.e., hard crust on bread, etc. It can also be caused by a bacterial or viral infection.
Sometimes that is seen in smokers. There are many reasons, you should get that checked by an oral surgeon or your dentist.
