Recently I have started to feel a small hole forming on the right upper back side of my gum. I used a camera to see what it was and it was circular and red. When I touch it with my tongue I can feel a small hole gradually growing. Im thinking that the bones are decaying or somthing similar because if I suck on the gum to puff it out it the gum fills up the whole but once I let go it rescinds back to its orginal possible and the whole is still there. Also it doesnt hurt. Should I go to the dentist to get it checked out?
Hiiunderstabfing concerns per your query you have hole in your gum. Well the symptoms you mention in query are probably due to gingivitis. Gingivitis sometimes create hole in gums. Well gingivitis can occur due to many reasons like food entrapment in Julius, plaque formation and most common poor oral hygiene. If there is hole in your gums you should consult dentist without any delay , because if gingivitis is left untreated then it will lead to another serious condition known as periodontitis. Doctor may perform oral prophylaxis (scaling and curettage)and may prescribe antibiotic course. For now do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene and antiseptic mouthwash rinses (Listerine) . Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
