What does the presence of a gray hole in the mouth indicate?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed the clinical pictures (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity), and I could not find any gray hole in your mouth. However, I can provide a summary of the condition of your oral cavity based on what I observed:

1. There is pericoronitis developing on the left side, which is causing significant misalignment of the teeth.

2. In one of the pictures, I noticed food debris accumulating near Fordyce granules.

3. There is early-stage tooth decay (incipient caries) in the last molar on the left side, along with some calculus buildup (severity 1).

To address these issues, I suggest the following:

1. Get a dental scaling procedure done to remove the calculus and improve oral hygiene.

2. Restore the decayed tooth (tooth no. 36) with appropriate dental treatment.

3. Consider obtaining a simple X-ray to assess the angulation of the affected area in cases of pericoronitis.

4. For further details and personalized advice, I suggest consulting a dental professional.

Best regards.
