Hi
Welcome to HCM!
I can appreciate your concern for the leukoplakia.
Most common causes are:
Smoking, Chewing tobacco and alcohol
Other causes: biting the cheek rough, uneven teeth, improperly fitted dentures &
Epstein-Barr virus infection (hair leukoplakia).
Treatment: It usually resolves on its own within a few weeks after the source of irritation is removed. However, if your patch is particularly painful or looks suspicious, your
dentist may order tests to rule out: oral cancer
AIDS
It can be removed either by your general dentist or by an oral surgeon.
Hairy leukoplakia requires treatment with an
antiviral medication.
I hope your query has been explained to your satisfaction.
Kindly give your feed back with thanks.
Prevention is better than cure. Take care
