See a dentist: I would see a dentist asap. It could be a burn on the tissue from food, meds, etc., or even a process call anug (please look it up and the symptoms that it presents.) a culture swab may be needed.

Not too serious: Gingivitis is fairly reversible with good home care. The discoloration is likely from food or drink. As you practice better hygiene, your symptoms should disappear but keep up with your regular dental professional cleanings as well.
