There is a small black spot on inside of my cheek, above right molar tooth. young male. never smoked or drank it can't be felt.what could the dot be?

Blood clot: I see this often when a patient bites the inside of the cheek. You will develop a bruise or something called a blood blister that contains blood. It can look very dark. It should go away in about 2-3 weeks.
