Tiny red dot edge of tongue

[redroses]

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out.
I have a very small red mark at edge of tongue, near the front.
It has been there for weeks and at first I thought it could be, what they call a lie spot. But read these go within two weeks.
Can't get to see dentist for few weeks and it's worrying me
Thank you in advance for any help

Usually spots on your tongue resolve in a couple of weeks. Any chance for a high quality image?

Unfortunately this is the best I can get with my phone camera.
On closer inspection it looks like a raw piece of the tongue but does not bleed
This has been there for 5 weeks roughly
Thank you for replying to my message

I do have bruxism and wear a night time gum shield but I am wondering if I could be causing trauma on my tongue, I often wake up with my jaw clenched
I am more concerned why it isn't healing

It does not look sinister. Those lesions usually appear irregular. I'm suspecting it's a vascular lesion like broken capillaries from your trauma. Look into over-the-counter night guard at the drugstore or maybe a custom bite guard made at your dentist office (more expensive).
