The tooth must be cariously fractured or pulp (tooth inside portion) polyp and hence there must be overgrowth of the adjacent gum or pulp.advisable will be going for root canal of the tooth.

Please visit your dentist urgently. You would need treatment immediately. If tooth is restorable, root canal can be done or else extraction. Both under antibiotic coverage.

Hello Ma'am
Greetings of the day. You need to visit a dentist without any further delay. Get an x-ray done so that depth of the cavity is known. The particular tooth may be saved by doing a RCT or will have to be removed. The flesh that has filled the tooth is called pulp polyp. Start a course of antibiotics (dentist prescribed) for the infection. Warm saline gargles several times a day can help relieve the pain temporarily.
