I have a red dot in my mouth. could i have cancer?

Red dot: Not enough information to make a statement. To ease your concerns you should see your dentist for an evaluation or if not satisfied then an oral surgeon. This is not urgent but you should follow up.

Need more info. : Your best bet, given this concern, would be a local examination by an oral surgeon. How old are you? Do you smoke? Has the dot been there for a while or is it new? Does it hurt? Is it draining anything?
