Yes: See a dentist who can clinically examine you, take an x-ray of the offending teeth and suggest the many ways to resolve this discomfort. There are different treatment methods based upon the specific situation, the degree of the sensitivity, the integrity of the tooth, the amount of recession, etc.

I have a dark red spot on my gums tight near the tooth. I haven't had any pain or been uncomfortable in anyway. I got up this morning, got ready and didn't even notice it when I brushed my teeth. I continued on and went to eat a crunchy snack and it hurt

I was brushing my teeth this morning and i saw something that hurts when i touch it, what could it be?
I noticed a small light brown spot on my gum, just below my bottom tooth. What could it be? It is not inflamed, nor does it hurt i brush and use mouthwash regularly and have never had any dental problems.
So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
Hit bottom gums while brushing teeth. They turned red and now it hurts to eat/touch. Gums taste like blood.
I have a dark red circle above my front tooth should I be worried? It doesn't hurt and I just noticed it this morning when brushing my teeth
