The spot should fade on its own in a few days as it most likely is from the cheek bite. Incase you develop pain/swelling definitely show it to a dentist soon, they will be able to evaluate further. If the cusps on your teeth are too sharp they may be rounded/polished to stop the constant friction against your cheek. - Dr Renisa Shah Laser Smile Care Centre (Andheri, Mumbai)
Next Steps
Avoid extremely spicy/hot things to prevent irritation to the area.
Health Tips
Rinse with salt water 2-3 times a day for improved healing.

Hi, It looks like a cheek bite. Be careful for the next 3 days not to accidently bite again especially while eating. It will heal on its own.
