Dental Issues: Rarely can dental issues be treated at home. From what you described you appear to have a low grade infection. Cause could be periodontal or endodontic in nature. Please see a dentist for proper care.

Serious?: Can't tell without an examination. Could be an infection that requires treatment. See your Dentist (not your pharmacist) for a knowledgeable opinion.
