White spot. Does it look bad?

Hello I have a white tiny spot on side of tongue. Any insight

You may be rubbing your tongue against you teeth similar to people biting their nails. It looks like hyperkeratotic tissue (callous) that may be high risk to become pre-cancerous. Get it checked if it is not resolved within 2 weeks.

Thank you for replying. Yes I feel like my back two teeths are running against me. Can they shape down my teeths . What would the dentist do this spot? I have horrible anxiety.

Rubbing against the tongue. Misinterpreted

 

[honestdoc]

Have your dentist smooth them down.

Ok thank you. Would that make this spot go away. Its very small. Pinkish to white. Last question

 

[honestdoc]

Let me explain to you. Thickened skin/callous/hyperkeratotic tissue can go away if it is not irritated. Have your dentist follow up. I cannot predict all the sources of irritation on the area.

That makes sense. Thank you I'll get it check and ask her to do a exam.
