Velscope Shows Small Dark Spot On Midline Hard Palate. Does Dark Spot Indicate Cancer?

I went to my dentist & he used a velscope to check for cancer. A small dark spot showed up on the midline hard palate. Just because a dark spot showed up, is it automatically cancer? I'm scheduled to see a specialist for a consultation, but that's not for another month. I have no sores or pain of any kind. Now I'm just worried.

Hi, you went to the dentist for diagnosis of the dark spot on the middle of the hard palate, the question is for what complaint you had been to the dentist. You are nor concerned about the spot. whether you had treatment for the dental problem.
Any how he has mentioned according to his experience,you should go through the referal to exclude the malignancy. Thank you.
