I have a small black spot/dot on roof of my mouth. My new dentist just saw on a routine exam. He told me nothing to be concerned about, but I am worried. Can this be related to excessive drinking and or moderate smoking

Hi,
The description that you are describing makes it sound most likely to be a mole in the roof of the mouth.
As long as the size remains the same, you probably do not have anything to be concerned about, since the dentist has already had a look.
Any pain, swelling rapid change isn size should prompt a re-evaluation,
regards
