Suffering From Pain In The Wisdom Teeth & Visible Hole In The Gum
my daughter has been having a problem with her wisdom teeth and has been to the dentist and won't be able to see her again until May 12th. She is in severe pain and now she has noticed a large one inch hole in her gum that is black in color. this doesn't sound right. Should she go to the emergency room?
