I have a hole behind my upper wisdom tooth. It looks like my tooth bit into it some how, Its sore and its kind of white around the hole. Its on the part of the gum that connects the top to the bottom of my mouth. Its in the corner of my upper gum. Is there anything I can do to make it heal or do I need to go doctor?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern....

As per your complain a hole behind the wisdom tooth can be due to a reason if your wisdom tooth has not completely erupted then you can observe a hole in that area which is a space from where some portion of the cusp of wisdom tooth has to erupt..
In case if there is completely erupted wisdom tooth then the gums behind it might have got traumatized with some hard food or something else leading to a hole as there might be no more jaw bone present in that area as the wisdom tooth have erupted in the extreme end where the bone is..
But for a final explanation and diagnosis you need to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and can be treated accordingly..

Hope this information helps..
