gum collapse?

Hey, the back right part of my gums between my molar and wisdom tooth suddenly collapsed today. It had a weird blood like taste but when I spit there was no blood. That part of my gum never hurt, it just felt smooth. I could tell my wisdom tooth was coming in as all the others have, but today I brushed my tongue across the area and a deep pocket occurred. Any light that can be shed on if this is a dental emergency or not would be great.

Hi Bjaguila!
It might be due to a gum disease. Gum problems are not noticeable for quite a while. The gums will start to recede slowly, teeth become unstable then gum collapse occurs. Go to a periodontist as soon as possible. If a gum problem is caught early, it can be treated easily.

Hi!
Brushing your teeth vigorously or forward and backward with grinding movemebt can create gum collapse. Practice brushing your teeth correctly and effectively and use a soft bristled toothbrush.
