I’m trying not to panic, but I noticed this pale/white-looking area near my back teeth and now my brain is jumping straight to leukoplakia. I’m not in major pain, but it looks different enough that I keep checking it and making myself more anxious.
I’m planning to get it looked at, but an exam could be around $250-$600, and I’m really hoping it’s just irritation from braces, rubbing, or biting that area. Has anyone had something like this that turned out to be harmless irritation?
