Is It To Be Concerned About The Spot In The Gums?

hello, Ive got a single dark colored freckle like dot on the bottom gums under one of my front teeth. Should I be worried?

I noticed it about 2 weeks ago and ive been keeping an eye on it and it hasnt changed in any way what so ever. Doesnt hurt and its completely smooth with my gums. Any ideas?
Im a 21 year old female and im 145 lbs, and i havent been to the dentist in a couple years.
