Does my cheek look concerning

Hi all I’m seeing my dentist next week and I was wondering if this is concerning
i check my mouth a lot as I have a lot of risk factors for oral cancer and I noticed I always have a sore on one side where I used to bite my cheek however I haven’t bit my cheek in a long time

I noticed all these red patches, and some of what I think is white tiny patches? Little black dots, and a fold I’ve always had now has purple underneath?
I just want my dentist to take me seriously as I saw him before for a hard lump on my jaw and he told me it was an abscess and so I was my GP and had scans and it is not an abscess it’s a benign tumour
so you think he will take this seriously?

the photos are all one side of my mouth the other side doesn’t look like that but does have an identical flap like the other side but it’s clear Thankyou

also the flap didn’t have purple there 2 days ago like that and now it’s there

Dentist here. Hard to see as photos not very clear, but all looks pretty normal to me.

Sorry it’s a screenshot up from a video, there’s a few red marks spread out on the cheek which can’t really be seen
Thankyou that’s reassuring I’ll still mention it to my dentist as it’s a new change but I’m glad it all looks normal to you
