A member asked:
What are the causes of tens of very very tiny holes in gums that feels rough when touching ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Holes?: You are probably feeling the normal texture of the gums which is referred to as stippling. It is a result of the microscopic elevations and depressions of the surface of the gingival tissue due to the connective tissue projections within the tissue. You can confirm this with your own dentist.
