There's a hole in my gum

[Kaylieangel]

I have a wisdom tooth growing on top and I accidentally bite the below of my gum and now there's a hole. Its been about 2months and the hole is still there. I hurts like every single second and its somewhat swollen. Is this serious? Do I have to go to a dentist?

If you're in constant pain and have swelling, you should definitely see a dentist. It is unlikely that this condition will resolve itself.

Best of luck

I’m 13 and I have 28 teeth well taken care of brush floss and everything but there is a third molar it looks like my wisdom teeth are all ready here and I counted my teeth and it still said 28 but that’s not the problem the real problem is that this is a small hole in the bottom back of my mouth the very back on the left side and it looks the the photo from the other person do you know what it is and why it is there there is a little pain like when I touch it with my tongue and I grab a floss pick to see if it was a tooth coming in and i saw a small line in my gum like my gum broke in half like starburst but not all the way but none of my teeth are not cracked and I’m getting metal braces soon and my teeth are not really crooked but why is there a hole in my gum at the left side all the way in the back of my mouth I also use burning mouth was to kill bacteria I don’t understand I don’t eat guava and cheese cake but sometimes I don’t like chocolate cake of a Twix and sneaker bar but I brush

Looks like there is pocket behind your last lower wisdom tooth on the left. This creates an area where food gets stuck. This pocket can be surgically removed, or can be eliminated when you remove your wisdom teeth, which is sometimes the case when orthodontic treatment is required

I don’t think I will ever need to get my wisdom tooth remove because I have four and there is space for them thanks because I was not sure if those were my wisdom teeth because I’m 13 and not 17 or 20 years old but I looked at photos and it said the 3rd molar is your wisdom teeth

Let me know like what’s wrong with the pocket and other options because It might be to early to get my wisdom teeth removed plus maybe I might not have to I can keep my wisdom teeth forever unless I feel pain which I doubt
