What could a hole in gum be?
Patient: i have a hole in my gum, on the side behind my last right molar where my wisdom tooth supposed to come out which it havent done so. and there is another hole right besides my molar it been there for about a year now . I havent gone to the dentist because I dont have insurance but I am getting worry because it wont go away. Doctor: Thanks for posting your query to HCM.After going through your history, I would advise you to visit a dentist as in your case proper oral and radiological examination needs to be carried out.The hole which you are talking may be due to an impacted wisdom tooth or spread of infection from adjacent tooth.Without proper examination, no correct diagnosis can be made.Hope my answer will help you.
