    Yes. You need to see a dentist.

      I already see a dentist a good one that has  helped me immensely!  My question was whether or not anyone else has dealt with a gum fistula.  Wondering how long they can take to heal.

      The only one I ever had was 40+ years ago, and due to an untreated infection in a left-over root from a decayed tooth that had broken off. It cleared up immediately after the root was removed. Sorry, that's all the input I can offer. Your case is probably different from mine. I hope yours clears up quickly too.
