Hello, I just brushed my teeth and I noticed a red spot on my palate. I often have this but I never consulted because it doesn't hurt and sometimes it goes away... but today it's bigger than usual....

Good morning, ma'am,
This can be caused by small irritations such as toothbrushes, utensils, food or other. It usually clears up by itself.
I suggest as prevention, to use a toothbrush with soft or very soft bristles, to floss at least once a day, and if you use a mouthwash, to favor a kind without alcohol. Also, when you have these lesions, I suggest avoiding spicy or irritating or overly hot foods.
I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions!
