A member asked:

White little thing inside of right cheek if i peal the white it's like a little black dot ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood clot: The most common reason for such a presentation is from clenching/grinding and biting of the cheek at night. The dark spot is actually a small blood clot where you bit your cheek. Consider wearing a nightguard.
