I have a hole behind my right molar. It s been there for around a month or so (that i ve noticed, at the very least). It makes eating sometimes difficult because, if food gets into it, it hurts. I can t figure out what caused it. There was no extreme pain, or any kind of problems with my teeth in the past that might ve led to this. I ve never even had a cavity. I take relatively good care of my teeth and mouth, so it s a mystery to me how this hole came to be. The area around the hole does not look too inflamed.
Which molar is it ? Is it the third molar ? I urge all the patients to please be specific about what they write as to where the hole is. Is it on the tooth or is it the skin flap which has been caused due to eruption of the third molar ?if the cavity is on the tooth don't be surprised, it can happen even after stringent oral hygiene. And even if it is due to third molar, go to a dentist and consult him regarding X-rays and further treatment whether filling or root canal treatment,
