Examination: It could be anything from a gum infection to a suddenly erupting wisdom tooth. Get to a dentist and find out what is going on. A clinical and radiographic examination should answer the question.

Bruxism: It sounds like you are under a lot of tension. Are you clenching your teeth? Are you drinking anything with a straw, frequently?
