Sore And Bleeding Gums. Swollen Gums With A Black Hole. Should I Be Concerned?

Hi, my gums on one side of my mouth have been feeling sore. Today I woke up with pain on one side of my teeth. I looked in the mirror and noticed something there - I think a piece of steak, between my second molar and first premolar. It looked a bit green. I brushed it, and afterwards it began to bleed a lot. Now it feels more sore and I notice a small black hole which looks like it is on the gum. Is this any cause for concern?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

From the details mentioned,i suspect soreness of gums can be due to deep dental caries of teeth involving cervical abrasion .

I would advice you to get a thorough scaling as well as restoration done.

Use soft bristled toothbrush as well as d e sen sit i si ng toothpaste to clean your teeth.

Avoid acidic beverages,carbonated drinks.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.
