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.

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.
