What Is Leukoplakia?
9. When Should You Contact a Physician?
Most cases of leukoplakia are mild and do not require medical intervention. Typically, white patches will develop and disappear within 14 days, especially with the elimination of the irritant. However, more moderate and severe cases may require medication or surgery.
If the leukoplakia patches do not disappear on their own within 14 days, then schedule an appointment with your physician or dentist. They will help you determine the underlying cause and determine if further intervention is necessary.
