Greetings, nothing to worry. It seems like a part of your milky tooth. Get an x-ray done in order to confirm it. Apart from that there is a cavity on your 1st molar. Get it filled before it becomes large. If you need any further advice or help then you can consult me on practo. All your queries will be solved. Regards: Dr Akash Bhagat The Dentist's Office

Get a clinical examination done in nearby dental office (preferably by oral medicine or oral pathology specialist). Seems nothing  very serious.

Please get yourself examined at a dental office and get an IOPA Xray done for this region. It may be a retained root fragment of a deciduous( milk) tooth needing to be removed.
