White spot on gum, cause for concern?

Q: I noticed a white spot on my gum, below my lower canine tooth. I was at the dentist two weeks ago and had an OC exam and nothing was said about it. I noticed this two days ago. Don’t know if it has always been there or if it is part of the normal human anatomy. I have provided a picture here. I am a 29 year old male.

A: It looks normal from the picture you show here on the internet. However, just to be on the safe side, get another opinion. I would rather be very conservative with this diagnosis based on a photo in this forum. However, I am not that concerned from the image …but still, go for another look.
