Hole Near Left Side Wisdom Tooth, Bad Smell. History Of Removal Of Right Side Wisdom Teeth. Suggest

hi, i have a hole near my wisdom tooth at the bottom left side of my mouth, i only noticed it after some food went inside i managed to remove some but they smelt really bad and i think the smell is from the hole and not the food that was inside. should i go see a doctor or is this normal ? :S
I have had my right side wisdom tooth ( upper and bottom ) removed due to them not coming up as they are shaped weird. my left side the one where i have the hole now is the same but i havent got them removed yet. please help!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having root infection of wisdom teeth.
Due to infected gum on this tooth food particles lodge in the wound giving rise to infection.
Consult dentist and get it removed.
Do salt water gargles after taking any thing by mouth.
Ok and take care.
