I have a small pin sized hole in my gums under my teeth in the front bottom jaw. I think it may be from dipping chewing tobacco but I only did a couple times. It hurts when I move it around. Is it bad, and what do info to get rid of it? Help! Im very scared
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. The hole in your gums is actually sinus or in plain words pus in gums due to infection. Check if you have cavity in corresponding teeth. Do not move or pinch the access as it can further lead to infection. I suggest you visit dentist and get an x-ray done of that area. It may require RCT of infected tooth or teeth or curettage if it is gum infection. Both are minor procedures done under Local anesthesia. RCT may require multiple visits. Do warm saline rinses. This will help Chat Doctor.  Get antibiotic and painkiller prescription from dentist. Maintain oral hygiene and healthy diet. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
