Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through your history, I would advise you to visit a dentist as in your case proper oral and radiological examination needs to be carried out.
The hole which you are talking may be due to an impacted wisdom tooth or spread of infection from adjacent tooth.
Without proper examination, no correct diagnosis can be made.
Hope my answer will help you.
