Only joined to ask!

Ive had this growth between my hard and soft palette for 10-15 years (im 22), no dentist ive ever seen has expressed concern over it, not even my current dentist who ive had for almost 7 years. Ive also been to an oral surgeon (unrelated to this, just pointing out a lot have doctors have seen my mouth.)

At a recent cleaning, my dentist expressed concern over this growth. Its full attached to the roof of my mouth, spongey when i touch with my tongue, and just feels like the tissue of my soft palette

Its never grown (that ive noticed), become inflamed or bled

Ive never been worried about it because not dentist or my surgeon has ever commented on it, but she (my current dentist) seemed recently worried about it, claiming she'd never seen it before, even though ive had it since before i started seeing her

Is this something i should get checked out? I dont really have extra money for a visit that will cost me 2-3000 dollars out of pocket

Any guidance would be super helpful!!
