Hello sir...
pain in that region is due to so many causes...
**pocket formation
**deep cavities in 2nd and 3 rd molar
**Erupting 3 rd molar...
x-ray(IOPA and OPG) of that invoved region is necessary to rule out the cause...
If it is due to deep cavities fillings or root canal treatment is necessary....
If it I due tp erupting 3 rd molar,you need to go for surgical removal followed by analgesics and antibiotics...
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur consultation and management....

Hi
Severe gum pain might be due to excessive deposited tartar which leads to gum inflammation. Proceed with general scaling first followed by application of gum astringent and mouth rinse . Visit the nearby dentist asap.
