Examination: You should start by seeing your own primary care physician for an in office evaluation. If he/she thinks it's appropriate, you may be referred to your dentist. The symptoms you mention may or may not be related. We can't determine that over the internet.

Oral Pain: Good day; I'm confused, usually gum pain is found directly around the teeth not toward the roof of the mouth. Possibly the discomfort is so bad as to travel toward the roof of the mouth!you may be coming down with a sore throat. A perfect time to arrange a visit with a medically oriented dentist. Good luck
