What are the white spots in the back of your mouth caused by smokeless tobacco?

The white spots in the back of the mouth caused by smokeless tobacco are often a condition known as leukoplakia. This condition results from the irritation and damage to the oral mucosa due to the chemical compounds in tobacco. Leukoplakia appears as thick, white patches that can be precursors to oral cancer if left untreated. Regular dental check-ups and quitting tobacco use are essential for prevention and management.
