Why Is My Damaged Tooth And Gum Area Black And Sore?
in 2012 I had a cracked tooth. it was supposed to pull out but no money to pay for it. thin pizza broke my same tooth out flatly. I never return to dentist for that. no insurance and no money. I noticed a black spot in gum inside where it has no same tooth area plus gum is little sore. what is it?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query,as you have mentioned that you have damaged tooth in oral cavity since 2 years now you feel sore gums may be due to Periapical Abcess formation can be there , so dont worry ,
Do warm salt gargle two - three times a day
Take Analgesic tablet Paracetamol twice daily
Consult dentist and go for investigations IOPA xray and if tooth is more damaged then go for removal of tooth , if not then go for Root canal treatment
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health
