My upper back teeth at the right side have a hole which looks black in my gums what do i do

Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Q.
My gums have always been red and I’ve found it difficult to remove plaque so when I go to the dentist it is always being taken off. However recently I have had very painful gums and teeth in different areas of my mouth, and self diagnosed myself with gingivitus. Today I felt a pain in my upper back teeth at the right side and had to have a look, I have a hole which looks black in my gum, I’m certain I already have both top wisdom teeth, what could be the problem? I am terrified of the dentist but scared to death that my teeth will get worse. Please help.
