There are many conditions which can cause this. You should seek an evaluation by a dentist as soon as possible.
It could be many things. You need a dentist to look at it and diagnose.
It could be a dental infection. Visit a dentist and have them take an Xray to determine if an infection is brewing in the site. Other possibilities may include pathologies that an Oral surgeon can send biopsies to a lab for diagnoses.
Pain in your gums most likely is from some dental infection. Better get it checked by a dentist promptly.
Often times this is food that is stuck in the certain area. This could also be caused by a cavity in the area of the gums, a fractured tooth, a periodontal infection, or an endosntic infection. I would recommend visiting a dentist for an exam and further explanation based off of clinical findings.
Possible inflammation or infection.
The feeling of pain and pressure on your gums can be due to some dental infection. If you want to treat pain and pressure on your gums, you should try to seek dental treatment from an experienced dental hygienist. The dental experts know better how to deal with these issues and give you a brighter smile without any decay in the mouth as well as gums.
Pain and pressure in the gums can indicate an infection in the tooth or the gums. Have a professional look into this. You will need to have an X-ray and an exam to diagnose the problem.

Yes, it definitely could be infection. Don’t guess, make an appointment with the dentist as soon as possible.
Pain and pressure in your gums could be as simple as something stuck between your teeth or as serious as an infected nerve or fractured tooth. A thorough evaluation would be necessary to determine what the underlining cause is and then the proper treatment.
It could be an infection or some kind of ulcer in the area. You should have your dentist look at it if it doesn't subside in a few days.

This could be either inflammation of your gums, best case scenario and the worst case scenario to dental infection brewing and likely to get worse. In any case, you should visit your dental care provider to have it diagnosed and treated.
Hi there, it seems like you have gum disease. I️ assume if you floss the area, there is lots of pain and bleeding involved. I highly recommend you see your dentist and have a deep cleaning done followed by every night of proper flossing before you go to bed.

Hi there, this sounds like a potentially serious condition that you should have looked at by a dental professional as soon as possible. The cause may be an infection of the gums (known as a periodontal infection) or an infection of the tooth itself caused by decay (which may lead to dental abscess). Diagnosis of the cause of the pain is your #1 priority moving forward.
All the best with your journey of diagnostic discovery!

This is called a differential diagnosis in which a logistic template is laid down that addresses symptoms, the physical characteristics of the mouth which will be borne out by an X-ray survey and a clinical examination by a specialist known as a periodontist. This dentist is trained an additional number of years in specifically recognizing problems of the supporting structures including gums or gingiva and the supporting skeletal bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth and makes a determination what is best for the longevity and better dental health of the patient.
Without knowing what your individual mouth appearance is, maybe this path can take several directions, but is always specific to the individual once you're diagnosed by the Specialist. The treatment plan will be developed that may be in stages as your body accepts the various procedures available to improve the dental health in this area of your mouth. At this point, little can be said generally that may apply to your specific situation.
One thing is for certain if you leave this undone and continue on through life, be aware that your teeth are shifting as you get older and skeletal problems can develop involving the joints of the jaw which are avoidable, if treated early. Also, pathology needs to be ruled out as you mentioned this is only affecting one portion of the mouth. A specialist will be the best route to determine this quickly and finalize the treatment plan.
