Second Opinon after routine cleaning and checkup

question

Hi, I usually do a full professional cleaning procedure and a routine checkup once a year.

I dont smoke, I drink about 4cl aclohol a week (a whisky once in a while), I dink tee and coffee on a regular daily basis. I have some stains after a year thats why I have the cleaning done.

I have no symtoms, no pains, no holes, and yes I brush my teeth, scrub my tounge an use Listerine each day. I had no pains with my teeth in the last 6 years, no swellings which receded or something that did go away.

There was no calculus dentis found or removed in the last 4 years. All fillings you see are more than 10 years old from an other dentist than my current one.

The picture is from this year. I see nothing out of the ordinary, chatgpd sees nothing out of the ordinary, my dentist tells me a sees something which would send me into oral surgery.

My dentist is locally well connected and I fear they wont contradict each other, he sent me to a "friendly" other dental surgeon....

Please, tell me what you see. I have a x-ray of the special area in question and will supply it later on. I & chatgpd dont find something there either.
