Hi. Those can be very uncomfortable. It sounds like you are describing an Aphthous Ulcer. It could all one a canker sore. There is laser treatment that has proven to be effective if it is really uncomfortable. Otherwise warm salt water rinses are a good idea, just to make sure it does not get infected. You should notice the pain start to decrease, and it should be completely healed in 14 days. If not, a visit to your oral surgeon might be a good idea.

A white spot with a hole in it could be many things, such as aphtous ulcer, a fistula which can appear on the gum due to infected nerve of the tooth, and many other things. I advise you to see a top dentist, or a periodontist to make sure, there is no pathology, and hopefully it is just a gum irritation and inflammation.
This appearance could be due to a variety of conditions, some that could be serious. Make an appointment to see your dentist for an evaluation or a referral to an appropriate specialist. If it is due to trauma, it may heal perfectly in a week or so, but if it doesn't, get it properly checked out.
This is certainly something that should be evaluated by a dental professional. I would start with your general Dentist, and if they feel that it should be seen by a specialist, then they will make the appropriate referral.
