What Is The Reddish, Blackish Spot On Inside Of Cheek?
I was flossing my teeth, and I noticed a reddish blackish spot on the inside of my cheek. This is probably the third time I have saw one. The first two times it was very small. This time it is about the size of a match head. Do you know what it could be?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
The reddish black spot could be an abscess developed from a sub clinical chronic infection.Please get it examined once.Do you have any associated symptoms like pain,pus,or swelling related to any teeth?does your gums bleed upon brushing?
If yes then please visit your dentist once.Get a x ray done and rule out any kind of infection.Meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene.
Thanks.
Take care.
