I did go to my dentist he looked at it and did a full oral cancer exam s
And said its nothing to worry about
Dentist,  Dr. Dr. naveen kumar's  Response
there may be high chances it could just be a normal feature as you have already visited a dentist.it may be due to improper cleaning of oral parts like tongue etc.brushing does not reach the back parts of mouth so better use a mouthwash like hexidiene,orahexplus,thermokind etc.White lesions may also be precancerous especially if you have some habits related to tobacco,alcohol ,etc.so if you want to clear your doubts completely you can visit another dentist.
