@aaliyahdavison46 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect! We’re not medical professionals so we can’t diagnose from that perspective. But we are able to rely on experiences and valuable insights we’ve learned along our personal journeys.

In my “former life” I was a certified dental assistant for 32+ years. So I’ve a pretty good idea what those two dots are. You bit your cheek. Probably while sleeping. ☺️ You didn’t actually break the skin so they’re more like ‘blood blisters’ or broken capillaries. They should disappear in a couple of days. I’m guessing they’ll be gone well before your appt on May 17th.

I see you’re a radiography student! What a great career ahead of you. Are you wanting to specialize in any particular area?

Hi Lori,

Thank you for the comment! I really hope it was just a bite. It’s still there, but I will monitor and give an update on it. So broken capillaries can appear black? That’s what seemed so strange to me—that they’re brownish black.

Also yes I will be graduating this Sunday and specializing in radiation therapy this fall! I’m super excited. Radiography is a great profession and I love how many specialties there are!
