Mine aren't white just the same colour as my inner cheek and raised. Think mine are from chewing. They're not there all the time.

Same as you Deirdre. I have some that are there permanently, and then new ones which come and go. Soem ate flrsh coloured,  some are white. Mouth tissue, like everywhere else, becomes thinner and more sensitive to damage than when we were younger. Particularly in meno when things dry out!

So the white mark is still on my tongue and my whole mouth is so sore and has been for months and months possibly a year!  Looked like the white mark was going but it is as bad as before.  Getting my check up at dentist for it today so see what he says.  Maybe peri related.  I know I eat food such as pickles then my mouth gets even worse.  I have ordered some vit b12 supplements so hope these help

Perhaps the vinegar from the pickles is drying your mouth out? It sounds like dry mouth to me. Mine was like that a big chunk of last year while I was trying to get settled on hrt. I'd wake up with dryness and a burning feeling. It coincided with getting a number of mouth injuries that I panicked about, white mark under my tongue etc. Looking back, I think it was all due to sore, dry, burning mouth.

Morning.  My mouth burns immediately with bananas, chocolate, if I use toothpaste containing sodium laurel sulphate.

Let us know how you get on.

If you've had this for months and it's no better the dentist should be referring you now to a specialist to sort out for you. You shouldn't have been suffering this long when it could have been resolved a long while ago.
