What Causes Painful Holes In The Gum?
I have 2 small holes in my gums. I have had them before every now and then except usually it is only one. The location varies and they tend to go away after awhile. They hurt a bit when chewing but other than that it doesn t hurt much at all. Around the hole my gums are dark red, they are not very deep.
