I've had several opinions from several different dentists...some have told me that UL6 is decayed and some have told me its fine. I can see the shadow that they're pointing out.

If it is, how severe would you say it is? Considering proximity to pulp. This x-ray was taken at the end of July and I can't get seen again until mid September. Is it ok to wait that long?

The quality of x-ray is poor. The dark area could only be cervical burnout on the x-ray. You would need a better x-ray to determine the extent of the decay in my opinion.
