This type of injury will usually heal by itself in a week or two and requires little treatment beyond palliative care, such as rinsing with warm salt water.įor any lesion that is more severe or doesn’t seem to be healing, you should see your dentist. You would most likely be aware of this happening and can easily relate the bruise to a specific injury. Trauma, such as accidentally biting your tongue or cheek or being hit in the mouth while playing sports, can leave a bruise, appearing as a dark spot on the gum or cheek. They may look strange when you brush your teeth, but these dots are perfectly harmless and require no treatment. It usually looks like a small, irregularly shaped dark blue discoloration. An amalgam “tattoo” occurs when a silver filling is being placed and some of the metal filling material inadvertently becomes lodged in the gum tissue or cheek.
