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!

@aaliyahdavison46 I’m 99.9% positive that’s what the dots are in your mouth. I hate ever saying 100% on anything. 😉 It will take several days to a week for those to resorb into the tissue. Just like a bruise.
I have one dot in my mouth right now because I bit my cheek last night while eating popcorn.
If you were to see the dots with more of direct light they would appear a reddish tint. Think of dried blood...it turns brownish. So take a deep, relaxing breath on this one. ☺️
Congratulations on your graduation this Sunday and good luck in your further education in radiation therapy! You’ve chosen a great career path. Wishing you all the best, Lori.
