Sounds ok: This is likely nothing serious. If it gets larger you have pain see dentist again but give it a few weeks and it will likely go away on its own.

The most common: It may be something as simple as stress, or biting or burning your soft tissue and you probably don't need to worry. However, if it's recurring all the time and if you get multiple dots in your mouth, you should seek treatment.

Great: You did the prudent thing, you saw your Dentist who was able to examine you and visualize the "red dot." Your Dentest said everything's OK...great. Red dot should disappear in about 2 weeks, ask your Dentist to have another look or refer you to an Oral Surgeon.

Bubble on Jaw: Good day; Just a suggestion; this may be a perfect time to take a photo of your "red dot of blood" and forward the photo to your dentist for the two of you to evaluate! Wish you luck.

Blood blister?: These are common red lesions resulting from an accidental tissue bite. You did the right thing to get it evaluated and now you can rest easy!

Red dot: It's quite common to get a small bruise or tiny blot clot in ones mouth from an accidental bite of the cheek, a rough edge of the tooth, or an accidental abrasion from the tooth brush or hard crusty piece of food. Your own dentist confirmed that it's nothing to be concerned about. Usually gone in 7-14 days.
