Send it back - sounds like a hot pixel, and if you do much low-light work, that's a problem.

depending on where you bought it, sending it back might only result in a refund and not a replacement since the s95 is being phased out. you can send it to canon. they will not fix the white dot, but instead they will map it out so you wont see it when you take a photo. if you shoot in RAW and use any of the adobe products, the stuck pixel will be cleaned out. if you plan to keep it, you can always edit your photos to remove it.

imo, if you got a good deal on the camera, i suggest keeping it since you might not receive a replacement. if replacement is possible, then try replacing. since canon doesnt really fix your camera, i suggest just removing the white dot yourself in post processing if it bothers you.
