What could be the reason for a small dark spot in the mouth?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems like a blood clot due to injury while chewing or eating food; usually, it should go away in a week or two. It also can be a mole if it is present for a long time.

Do you have any habit of cheek bite? When did you start observing this black spot? Was there any pain recently? Kindly answer the questions for a better evaluation.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The bad taste can be due to gum infection or food impaction between teeth gaps. I suggest you brush twice a day after food and use a mouthwash or warm salt water gargle.

I also recommend cleaning your teeth by a dentist every six months or so. Please wait for at east two weeks to see whether the black spot reduces in size and disappears; if the spot increases in size, let me know or consult a dentist in your area.

Hope I have clarified your query.

Thank you.
