The tooth root is the section under the gum line, where it is held in a socket within the jaw.
The tooth root is the part of the tooth that is embedded within the jawbone and anchors the tooth in place. It is located beneath the gum line and connects to the crown of the tooth, which is the visible part in the mouth.
A tooth with a hole in it can often be pulled if it is not severely damaged. However, if the decay has spread deep into the gums or the tooth is broken below the gum line, surgical removal may be necessary. Decayed tooth removal depends on the severity of the damage. A dentist will assess whether a simple extraction is possible or if a surgical procedure is required for safe removal.
The part of a tooth that is exposed and above the gum is called "crown", not to confuse with a crown that is prothesis to restore a heavily damaged tooth. The part of a tooth that is hidden inside the bone is called "root".
See a dentist. If the hole is in the tooth, you will need to get it filled. And if it is in the gum, there could be more serious problems.
Visit your dentist immediately. If it is an infection, care and treatment will keep further problems from happening. It could be a cavity.
