Hello,
The red spot under the roof of mouth may arise due to-
Denture irritational hyperplasia.
Aphthous ulcers.
periodontal abscess.
I would advice you to get a thorough scaling done.
Discontinue the use of dentures or get it replaced.
Vitamin becosules,c,iron and folic acid tablets has to be taken.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
The abscess has to be drained or curetted.
Take care.
