What Is The Cause Of Hole In Tooth Discovered While Over Brushing?
This is more a dentist question: I bashed the gum behind a back tooth the other week because of over brushing, and now the abscess has gone/stopped hurting it has left a kind of hole which fills with plaque and at the bottom as a couple of black dots in it. Nb I had my wisdom teeth taken out when I was a teenager (I an now 28). I am arranging to go to a dentist for next weekend for them to see what is going on. My question is what could this hole be? Can it be filled in? Are the black dots I see nerve endings or blood vessel endings from when I had my teeth out?

Hello,
As you are mentioning that you have noticed a hole inside the tooth with black dots, it looks like that there is tooth decay present there means cavity has been started.
You should visit a good dentist to get it restored, as otherwise it will create other problems.
Hope it will help you.
