See your dentist: Red spots can be from a variety of causes and therefore your dentist needs to see it for an evaluation to determine the best treatment options. The dentist will need to know if the spot is something that has recently occurred or how long you have had it. They will also want to know if it has increased in size, changed color or texture or is painful.

Try salt water: If it is irritation or trauma, salt water rinses should take care of it. Use 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water 4 times a day for a few days.
