Gums: It sounds like you have gingival trauma or infection. Have your dentist look at the problem. All the best.

Needs Evaluation: Return to your dentist for further evaluation. You may have a infection &/or gum disease. Deep caries may lead to pulpal infection, which may need root canal treatment. If your third molar is impacted and has pericoronal infection, you may consult an oral surgeon.
