I have not had my wisdom teeth taken out yet and I just noticed a hole in the back on my gum and it has turned black. What is this? I am also pregnant and I noticed another doctor said to another person it could be caused by hormonal changes. Is it because I am pregnant?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have hole in gum it can be due to the eruption of wisdom tooth or due to your wisdom tooth is carious that why it turned black causing gingival inflammation secondary to personal abscess or this can be pregnancy induced gingivitis also. For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for oral examination, and as you are pregnant dental treatment is possible in second trimester of pregnancy. In meantime you can do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and do regular mouthwash. Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health. Regards,
