Yes you should see a dentist. Before then, brush your teeth everyday 2-3 times a day. You can also use a mouthrinse and floss once a day.  If you can set up an appointment to get your teeth evaluated and cleaned.
Gum pain can be due to a number of reasons, Please see a dentist as soon as you can.
Hi. There are many reasons for gum pain. I recommend you see a doctor. The main cause could be a gingival abscess, but for an accurate diagnosis we have to check your mouth and take a few x-rays.
It could be an abscess breaking through, a possible viral infection, or severe gum disease in its later stages.  Gum disease doesn't always have any pain associated with it until the point when teeth will be lost.  In any case. see a dentist ASAP.
