Get it checked!: It sounds like an inflammatory problem and you need to be seen by an oral surgeon. The inflammation is usually caused by bacteria getting under the gum line where it doesn't belong. You can develop infections that range from annoying to a serious threat to your health. Get to an oral surgeon soon!
