Hi, so for a couple of months now, the gum around one of my bottom left molars has been hurting a lot when I put pressure on it and brush it (electric toothbrush). When I clench my jaw really hard it hurts that tooth and when I let go it also hurts, I don't know how it started but it is very odd. Not only this, but when I use my tooth to move it, I can feel it slightly crunching. I do clench my teeth throughout the day to see if the pain is there. Also, with my upper right molar, the gum above it hurts even more when I apply pressure or brush it which I really don't understand :/ All my other teeth are fine apart from one which is a milk tooth and has been decaying but wobbly for a while, I have been to the dentist about it who said to leave it because it wall come out soon, I do wobble it but it can sometimes hurt.
Why am I getting pain in it and in the gum? Should I just leave it alone for a couple of weeks and then clench to see if it still hurts? I really hope I don't need a root canal or extraction in that tooth due to my irrational phobia of the dentist.
Thanks
