hi, my right side of lower gum is hurting. I have had root taken out from one of my teeth 3 yrs ago, and since then the gum in front of that tooth (without root) hurts when I press it and it doesnt feel right/comfortable. I feel like I want to just dig the whole tooth out myself. the gum is a bit swollen.
Visit the Dentist, Get the X-ray of the tooth done. Then if remnants of the root/s are there get it removed. Dentist will also check out for any pathologies if exists.
