Hello sir....
complete clinical and radiological(x-ray)examination is necessary to rule out the cause..
it may be due to deposits which cause gum pain or may be due to cavitation which cause tooth pain..
if it is due to deposits deep scaling is necessary....if there is cavitation (Caries) then you need to go for root canal treatment followed by capping....
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management
