See a dentist: You should see a dentist about this painful problem. It sounds like you have an infection that needs to be treated. Don't delay. This could be serious.

Gum pain: It sounds as if it is hard for you to clean back there see a periodontist and have the area evaluated and treated. Sometimes it can be better to remove a tooth to make it easier for you to keep the area healthy.
