<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.i have a kind of small hole next to my back left tooth that feels like a sore it s like the skin split or the gum split . I put my finger on it as I look at it in the mirror and it kind of feels like I m touching the base of my lower wisdom tooth that never grew in fully . will this thing heal by itself? will skin or gum grow in soon to fill up this small oval shaped hole? YYYYYY  <response>: Hello welcomes you said that wisdom tooth never grew fully means that this tooth of yours is impacted problem you are suffering here is peritonitis. This is gingival flap inflammation usually covers partially impacted teeth. Permanent cure for such type of problems is extraction of wisdom tooth, so I will advise you to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Rest maintain proper oral hygiene, start up with one antibiotic course including amoxicillin, metro, painkiller ibuprofen along with Betadine rinses. Thanks take care
