question: Hi, Ive never asked a question from an online doctor before, but maybe you can help. Basically, my problem is that I have holes in my gums. Ive gone to dentists, but they are convinced that my jawbone is dead. I know this is a wrong diagnosis since I have never taken osteoporosis drugs or had chemotherapy, so there is nothing to have caused that to happen. Plus, the tissue is responding to anitibiotic treatment and it bleeds. Dead tissue wouldnt do this. Brief background
