See your dentist: An infection from a tooth or from periodontal disease can cause pain that will trigger your muscles overwork. What follows can be a domino effect of sore muscles in your face, jaw, neck, and shoulders. You should see your dentist to determine the source of the pain. Once that has been treated, everything else will likely start to get better.

2 separate problems: 1. Tender gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. Untreated gingivitis can lead to the tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome. 2. Neck and muscle pain; see your PCP for evaluation, tests and treatment.
