[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white spot on gum since a long time which is mainly because of chronic irritation of mucous membrane of mouth which could be because of excessive smoking, ill-fitting appliances.  Leukoplakia is the major reason for white spots on your gums which is because of poor oral hygiene of oral cavity. Food particles keep on accumulating which are causing continued irritation. I would suggest you need not worry about anything. It's not symptoms of oral cancer. Still you should visit oral pathologist once and get scrapings from gum and get it examined properly to rule out any malignant pathology. Maintain proper oral hygiene by antimicrobial mouth wash. Do gum massage on daily basis. Brush and floss twice daily. Leukoplakia is harmless as such, you should visit dentist once and get it surgically removed if its troubling you. Take Statin suspensions as well to prevent fungal infection. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
