Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is very painful, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Some throat lozenges can temporarily lessen pain.

See your dentist.: It's impossible to say without an exam and evaluation and possibly a biopsy by an oral surgeon. I would recommend getting it looked at right away.
