Angebug,

If you have a pocket in your gums which is irritating and painful, you may have periodontal gum disease or gingivitis which can progress to periodontal disease.It is important that you visit your Dentist and have him/her take corrective steps or determine if it's something else.

Please keep us posted,

Rosa
