Hi there,

I've been on these forums for a couple of days and would like to thank everyone for the great advice and experiences they have shared. It's great to share these things so we can try and get to the bottom of things.

First time posting. I had a tongue biopsy on Tuesday (nice and painful!) and recovering well while I wait for my results. I have 3 white patches in my mouth, the largest of which is on the left-front dorsal surface of my tongue (15mm x 9mm). I have a 3mm x 3mm patch on right side of my tongue while I have a striatic lesion (white cobwebby) in the centre of the right buccal muccosa. Over the last 4 years I have gotten 2 fillings, top-left and bottom-right of my mouth in the general area of where the patches are. The fillings are both composite heliomolar.

My doctor suspects that the patches may be an allergy to my fillings. I have not seen much research online that shows allergies to composite fillings but it is always possible I guess. Bis-GMA does not sound like such a great substance from some articles but unsure if it would cause this. Anyone have any experience or heard anything like the above description. Fingers crossed for the results anyway (hopefully this week).
