I think itz gingival pocket and u have heavy calculus over your teeth you should meet your dentist if it is just calculus than you get allright by just getting gingival treatment followed by root planing and if it is a sinus than you need tooth extraction or root canal treatment but chances of gingival treatment is more so my friend don't get affraid of dentist go and meet him before you loose your teeth.
