I have a hole in my gum.08/15/2008 |
I have all my teeth out on bottom i just noticed I have a hole in gum ...will it heal it self? or do I need medicine?
Fresh extraction sockets look like holes. They should disappear with soft tissue maturation and resorption of the underlying bone. This may take a couple of weeks.
