Sorry for returning to this so much...but I'm just wondering some things. The official diagnosis of the small white patch on the tongue is leukoplakia. I'm wondering if the dry mouth from radiation combined with rather irritating flouride toothpaste could have something to do with it - I've done the search on leukoplakia and see that irritation can be a cause. Has anyone else had anything similar post radiation?

Thanks,
Anita
