Thank you for this information. I did look hem up and got a lot of good information, but no one really in my area who specializes. My OLP is not flaring up inside my whole mouth right now, but there is always this white spot along the inside of my right cheek that is raised up, tender, and painful when eating anything sharp (like crackers), acidic or spicy. And a spot behind my left wisdom tooth that is also tender and painful when eating or brushing. Should I seek treatment now or wait until a flare up so the doc can see the full extent of the problem? Sounds like a silly question, but the ENT doctor I was referred to told me to wait to come in. Do ENT's know anything about OLP?
