I freak out over white spots

[Jjordan8112]

I have been snussing regularly for about a year and a half now. Coming off of heavy domestic chewing tobacco use i.e a tin a day of cope, grizzly, Kodak etc...
I enjoy Suns a heck of a lot more and with all the research I've done it seems a lot safer than any type of tobacco out there.
My usual routine is about 8-15 portions of general mint per day, depending on how I feel.
Last year at a dentist appointment he pointed out some white spots in my upper cheek where it meets the very top of my mouth. I tried to just sort of just brush it off but it lingers on my mind a lot. I'm quite a hypochondriac really.... With bad anxiety to boot.
Anyway. When I usually look at my gums I don't notice anything unusual but I took a flashlight and peeled my cheek forward to inspect the upper inside part of my mouth and I noticed some white spots still there. It just doesn't look normal. Almost like a white burn. Like a white patch made up of smaller white circular patches. It freaks me out to be honest.
There was a time in my snuff days where I would occasionally put long cut and snuff pouches in my upper lip but that was a couple years ago.
Does anyone have any input on this? Is it normal? Is it permanent? Is it definitely from the heavy Snus use??
Most importantly should I be worried of this?
Because I already am....
Thanks in advance for any help.

my dentist also noted some white spots n wrinkling said they will go and that i need to move the snus around a lot more, use in different spots.

if you quit for a bit and they dont go then i would be worried, they should really go quite quickly if you have a break or move to a different spot.

to be safe i would get them checked out properly but i wouldnt fret too much

A good tactic is to switch to loose snus for a bit - I find the portions (especially white ones) tend to irritate my gums much more than loose. Another tactic is to ramp down if you're using strong snus which can irritate more than regular snus.

I get sore gums often if I have a cold - and once the cold has gone it disappears.
