Need exam: There is no way to diagnose your symptoms over the internet without actually seeing you and an x-ray of your tooth. It could be many things, or nothing at all. See your dentist to determine what's going on.

Possibly: It could be recurrent decay, a crack, gum inflammation, or several other less common problems. Don't wait to see your dentist. Treating now may prevent a larger problem later.
