What Is Leukoplakia? Leukoplakia is a white or gray patch that shows up on your tongue, the inside of your cheek, or on the floor of your mouth. It's the mouth's reaction to ongoing (chronic) irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth.
There are two main types: homogenous and non-homogenous leukoplakia. Homogenous leukoplakia consists of uniformly white plaques which have a lower likelihood for turning into cancer. Non-homogenous leukoplakias, which resemble mixed red and white non-uniform patches, have a greater likelihood of turning into cancer.
White tongue is usually caused when bacteria, debris (like food and sugar) and dead cells get trapped between the papillae on the surface of your tongue. These string-like papillae then grow large and swell up, sometimes becoming inflamed. This creates the white patch you see on your tongue.
