I Have A Black Dot On The Inside Of My Cheek. What Could This Be?

There are a lot of people that suffer from the problem of a black spot on the inside of their cheek. This black spot is often referred to as an amalgam tattoo and this is caused by particles of fillings that have become embedded in the soft tissue, which is part of the cheek. These black spots can also appear on the roof of the mouth and the tongue. These spots are usually flat in appearance and they are normally fairly small in size. These embedded fragments can be caused while the dentist is placing fillings in your mouth. This problem can also be caused when you are getting a crown done at the dentist as they also contain metal. 
These black spots that are known as amalgam tattoos are very common and they are not at all dangerous and will not actually cause you any harm. If you suffer from one of these spots it is a good idea to get it checked by a specialist in order to make sure that it is not anything that is more serious. A small proportion of these black spots may, in rare cases, be an early sign of cancer therefore it would be wise get it checked in order to determine exactly what it is and what is causing it. If these spots are large in size or change color then it is very important to seek urgent medical attention immediately so as to determine what it could be. 
When you speak to a specialist they will be able to diagnose the black spot based on your dental treatment history and also by taking a close look at the spot in your mouth. There are some types of dental x-rays that will be useful when it comes to diagnosing these black spots.

It is an out grown structure if it is not painful then it's ok no need to worry about.It could be an internal mole if it is black or brown.But if the size is increasing day by day then you should take action as it will cause problems in future.So consult any surgeon to be at safe side.
