Dentist,  's  Response
Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that it is sinus opening. Actually the tooth with the cap might be infected, because infection causes pus in the apex of the tooth which comes out through a hole on the gums called as sinus.
Better that once you should visit your dentist and get an x - ray done of the tooth which will show the infection.
Hope it will help you.
