Pain in jaw: Your description of pain sounds as if you have a gum infection somewhere and an exposed nerve is traveling pain up your jaw have someone look at it.

The tooth: Gums usually don't respond to temperature as much as the tooth does. It sounds a lot like you have some root sensitivity. Please see your dentist.
