Is It Common To Have Feeling Of Holes When Rolling Back Tongue To Back?

When I roll my tongue to the back, left of mouth, (it feels like the top left), there are a couple holes/openings. Only way I can describe the feeling is like gills as foolish as it sounds. Unsure if its on the right side because I cant get my tongue there. Is this common?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It can be a normal feeling as cheek / buccal mucosa is not smooth , it's rough.
So , if you roll your tongue over it you will get that feeling.
However , you should do your self examination to see for any oral ulcers.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
