Painful Holes In Gums, Discomfort In Moving Mouth, Talking Or Eating. Remedy?

Hi I am seventeen and had my wisdom teeth removed around four years ago due to a crowded mouth. I have recently developed three small holes in my gums and they are very painful. They hurt and sting whenever I Move my mouth or talk and it feels horrible if any food or drink touches them. I have one on the left side of my mouth towards the front (bottom), one on the right near the back (bottom), and another on the right (top) near the front. They are all near where my gums connect to my cheek and hurt really bad, please help?

Dentist,  's  Response
hello and welcome to HCM forum,
according to the history presented by you i would like to inform you that i won't be able to provide you with the diagnosis , as clinical check up needs to be done first.
you have mentioned that you have sensitivity ,this is due to recession of gums and dentine exposure.
These holes seem to be periodontal pockets, and need a dentist's attention.
as you said your teeth are crowded, therefore in such cases, periodontitis is very common.
i would recommend you to visit your dentist, get your teeth cleaned, as well as maintain your oral hygiene.
i wosh you good health,
take care.
I find this answer helpful
