I Would: Your gum pain could be something simple or it could be something serious. Either way, the sooner you figure out what it is, the sooner you can get it fixed. Everyone who has had lots of dental work can tell you - dental problems get bigger over time and not smaller. Best of luck to you!

Yes: Dentists and periodontists are the most qualified to evaluate gum pain. The longer you wait the more likely things are to get worse.
