What causes white bumps underneath and on the side of the tongue?

In: Cancer, Breast Cancer [Edit categories]

Answer:

possible answer?

My dentist's assistant was doing an oral exam on me. She noticed white bumps/color on my back side of my tongue. The dentist asked me if I drink --that was wierd because I am a daily drinker (3-5 daily), she just said "oh" and that was end of discussion. He never said anything after so I figured it was from drinking. Investigate that more if you want.
