Common Palate Color Changes
- Redness: Often caused by a burn, irritation from a denture, or a viral infection.
- White Patches: Can be a sign of oral thrush, or in smokers, nicotine stomatitis. Any persistent white patch should be evaluated to rule out leukoplakia.
- Yellowish Tint: Can sometimes be a sign of jaundice, a medical condition that requires a doctor's evaluation.
