Could be thrush (yeast) or could be that you are fondling your new braces with your tounge too much as we have tendency to touch excessively any new anomily, ache or sore tooth etc without being able to stop, lol. That would be my first guess. You are just irritating it by getting used to the braces. And the white spots would be inflamed tastebuds.\n\nAlso eating a lot of sour or acidic foods or candy can irritate the tounge to the point of getting sores and being raw and inflamed.\n\nIf its not better in 2 days I wold see the dr or do some research on yeast. Which could also caused by too much sugar.\n\nRinse your mouth with salt water. Take some extra vitamin c as soft tissue repair needs lots of C. Along with your regular multivitamin.

Yikes, that must be kind of scary! Ask your doctor, since no one else answered, and I have no idea what could be causing this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth\n\n Theres a site that will tell you all about teeth.The most common thing that makes white spots is called "hypocalcification." This means there was less calcium deposited there while the tooth was developing. NO CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT WILL HELP THIS NOW.\n\nSOMETIMES, you get lucky and the spots are very superficial. If they are, they can actually just be polished away by your dentist. If they won't polish away, you can have some bonding material placed over them to hide them.

It is saliva, you may have a loose or "perturbed" gland.  It sounds like it's getting out of control.  And being a dentist, I have seen this many times! It can get worse if you don't see your doctor OR dentist ASAP.  Please, please go do this!

Use listerine and get a tongue scraper.  And drink LOTS of water.

Keep spotting what, exactly?

Its probably a canker sore.  You pretty much just have to wait those things out.  Keep acidic foods away from it in the meantime.  I get one everytime I go to the dentist and the last time it took a week for it to go away.

thrush medication is an anti-fungal. like nystatin,mycelex troche,diflucan. thrush is a fungal infection that can cause white spots in the mouth and throat. most commonly caused by a weak immune system, or taking antibiotics for a long period of time,or using orally steroid inhalers.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

if you value your health..see a doctor. I suspect it's related to your sugar level.

the white spot is demineralization, but I really have no idea how you would reduce or remove it.  fluoride maybe would help to protect it at least.  try asking your dentist...he would know. consider yourself lucky though.  I have hypomineralization which cant be fixed.  I've had white spots on most of my teeth since I was a kid.

EWWWWWW! It just looks like u ate a green something!  Get a tongue scraper from your drugstore! I promise all that buildup can be scraped away.   If no improvement see a Ears/Nose/Throat doctor stat!

You could be biting your heek or tongue. Things in your mouth heal really fast.

I suggest you see a doctor.  NO ONE here can diagnose you and neither can a doctor without examining you and possibly running some tests.  If you have a geographical tongue, these could be normal for you.  Since you should (hopefully) know what your tongue looks like and never noticed them before, then you need to be checked as obviously the bumps are something new for you.\n\nStrep throat only affects the throat...not the tongue.  If you had thrush, you would know it because you'd see white patches inside the mouth  and on the tongue that look like cottage cheese or milk curds.\n\nIt is never wise to take antibiotics you have laying around when you have no idea what is wrong with you.  The wrong antibiotic can do more harm than good.\n\nIs it contagious?  Who the heck knows without having a formal diagnosis.  Until you see a doctor, I suggest you refrain from kissing and any other "stuff".

Sounds like Gingivitis. Listerine would help a lot.\n\nI might have spelled it wrong.

sounds like an allergic reaction to certain foods.Watch what you eat when this happens and try to eliminate it from your diet.
