Sore spot on gum

Q: What’s wrong with my gum? My gum is sore under one molar on the right side towards the back of my mouth. Only when I touch it though. When I’m not touching it, it’s fine. It also hurts when I touch my cheek where that tooth is. Any idea what it is?

A: Is it possible you could call your dentist and have them check you? It could be a number of possibilities Trauma? Infection? Ulceration? Viral? You need to be seen by a professional as soon as possible. Best of luck.
