Suggest Treatment For Holes On Teeth Between The Gums

I have a hole on one of my upper teeth where it meets my gums. It is starting to really hurt and I have always had a great smile but I am scared to now bc food literally gets stuck in it and I have to get it out with an instrument. How did this happen and how can I fix it? Didn't think I had to pay. Silly silly me of course you would!

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose thta you might have developed with gingival recession, i would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get a checkup done get a complete mouth scaling and polishing done, if required a periodontal surgery can be done, for this you require to get an OPG radiograph done, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take multivitamin suplements, maintain a good oral hygiene.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The holes on the teeth could be secondary to the decayed tooth. The food lodgement is also because of the decayed tooth and bone loss around the decayed tooth secondary to gum infection.
Consult a oral physician and get the decayed tooth filled and he gums cleaned. If needed get bone grafting done if there is bone loss.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
