I have pain in my teeth and gums on the upper and lower right side. i believe i have a chipped tooth as well. what could be causing this?

bad occlusion: When pain cannot be isolated into 1 or 2 teeth, malocclusion (the way your teeth fit together) probably is the main etiology. A chipped tooth is not as important as the wear facet on surfaces. Malocclusion can be fixed by just grinding selected spot on teeth (referred to as occlusal adjustment) in the simple case to moving teeth orthodontically (braces) to making crowns (prosthodontically).

Many things: You may have problems with your gums, a cavity, a sinus condition, and you may be grinding your teeth as well. So many possiblities, and that's why you need to be examined locally by your dentist. S/he will determine what is causing your discomfort and give you options as to how to treat.

See dentist: Need a thorough history, x-rays and exam to provide an answer. I would see a dentist asap.

Tooth Decay: is the most common cause of a toothache and gums pain. See your dentist, it's always important to sort out what's going on so that the right diagnosis and treatment can be selected and applied.
