Hello. Your pain is most likely due to decay in tooth which has reached the tooth nerve/pulp. I would advice to visit a nearby dentist and get an Xray made to help the dentist reach a diagnosis and make a treatment plan. Dentist would probably suggest a Root canal procedure which will help to stop the pain, clear out the infection and restore the function of the tooth.
Thanks and Regards,
Dr Ann Varghese.

Hi, The cavity in molar teeth might be deep & hence sudden pain in gums or because of food lodgement.A xray has to be taken to rule out the possibility of root canal. Right now you can take some painkiller for pain relief.

The cavity present in your tooth might have effected the roots of your teeth thereby causing a deep seated infection below the teeth. This cant be seen or confirmed unless an Xray has been done for the affected tooth. Visit your nearest dentist and get that tooth treated as soon as possible..
