Hello,
The type of hole you are mentioning it looks like there is some infection in the tooth or gums which has formed an abscess behind the gums that is why it is painful also.
I think you should visit a dentist as he will take an x-ray based on which the abscess will be diagnosed.
Hope it will help you.
