Hole by molar in gum
I have a deep hole behind last molar. I know I have impacted wisdom teeth (but can't see it). Is this hole a cavity? It's pretty steep hole but I only noticed it recently as food kept getting stuck in it.

I think you may have hole in between the wisdom tooth and the last molar .. so for the confirmation ,need one dental xray . visit to your nearest dentist and get one x ray . you may need for root canal treatment for last molar and wisdom tooth should be extracted
