If you have gum disease, are you being treated for it ?You may also have a TMJ problem or a uneven bite. See a dentist for exam and treatment. Don't try to treat this condition yourself.

Pain may be from trauma, gum disease, failing tooth, viral infection, or thousands of other reasons. It should heal in no more than 2 weeks. If it doesn't, see your Dentist.
