See dentist: See your dentist for a clinical and radiographic examination. You may need a professional cleaning or there may be something else going on, see your dentist to be sure.

You shouldn't ignore: Some oral conditions such as painful gums without inflammation can be signs of gum disease. See a dentist or periodontist to diagnose the problem before the pain worsens.
