frostyjohn,
You are absolutely correct! The opening can be the size of the head of a pin. Your symptoms are connected to something abnormal so you need to keep searching for a diagnosis. I'm sorry the oral surgeons have not been helpful. Could you try to locate an oral surgeon who is also an MD? Sometimes the surgeons with the dual degree, DDS or DMD along with an MD, are better diagnosticians.
Hopefully this will not go on much longer... hang in there!

I have a significant amount of fluid come out of my gum everyday, so there just has to be some type of hole somewhere. It might not be the type commonly encountered, though, but there has to be one.
