[Valeriemillslorenzo]

There's a gash / hole that's formed behind my upper right wisdom tooth it's very painful and seems to.be getting bigger it's hard to eat and I can barely open my mouth correctly I havent found any thing like a name for it and I tend to think the worst possible thing in situations like this ...can anyone give me some insight and what this could be it's so painful

This could be related to the wisdom teeth in that area. If the wisdom tooth is tilted or not completely erupted, it leads to pericoronitis. I would suggest seeing a dentist to evaluate possible removal of the wisdom tooth.
