What Causes Bluish-black Spot On Palette?

Hello. My 77 year old aunt recently visited her dentist for a routine exam, cleaning, etc. at which time the doctor found a bluish-black spot on her palette. She's convinced herself that, being a denture wearer, something must have become lodged in that area and caused a bruise. She doesn't think she needs to follow up with this to have it checked. Any suggestions?

Thanks for using health care magic.

Read your query.

Being a denture wearer , it could be because of some trauma or some rough surface of the denture .

If it is asymptomatic, keep a watch, if it is not healing or increasing or changing in appearance ,please consult your dentist.

Thanks and regards.
