Chalky Taste In Right Side Of Jaw, Brushing And Flossing Regularly. Due To Tobacco Intake?

Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I will try to work on the questions that you have today but I would like to know few more things as this would help me in suggesting you better.
1. Is there any colour change?
2. Any bleeding from the area?

Most common cause of patch in the mouth is lichen planus. Other causes to be ruled out includes leukoplakia and candida infection. For any confirmed diagnosis, a complete physical examination by a dentist is required. Please make an appointment to get it examined.
Tobacco chewing or smoking can be a dangerous cause to various oral diseases. Try to avoid the habit completely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
