What Does Palomas Mean?
I have gone to the dentist to get new dentures made. While examining me, he found two white lesions and called them palomas. What does that mean? I am going to be seeing an oral surgeon, but I would like to know more about what these lesions are before hand.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
White lesion in oral cavity can be of variety of type like leukoplakia, lichen planus, candidiasis etc. It can only be seen by looking at lesion so you should visit your dentist and get the local examination done meanwhile you should have started with anti oxidants glo gem 1 tablet per day atleast for a month and if you have any sought of habbit like beetal nut, tabacco chewing and smoking then you should immediately stop that.
Thank you
