Pain in gums: It may be a deep cavity, an infected tooth,or another dental issue. Make an appointment for your son to visit a dentist.

Teething ?: A distinct possibility. Best bet is to have a local dentist take a look.

Cavities are usually: the most common cause for tooth and gum pain in a four year old child. Most children are done teething on baby teeth by that age and will not get permanent molars till age six. You need to have them evaluated by a Pediatric Dentist. In the mean time keep the area gently clean and avoid sweet and sticky foods.
