Pain in Gums-Nervous to Get Checked Out

[jmoney127]

Hello, about 5 days ago I developed a mild pain in my upper gums. It is located in a specific spot right between two molars on my upper left side. It hurts when I press on the spot and there is also pain in the tooth. I get pain while eating, but there pain goes away. It isn't very painful, but more of an annoyance than anything. If I don't eat or press on the gums/tooth there is very minimal pain. There is no swelling or redness. WHat could this be? I am absolutely terrified of going to the dentist

You'll only find out what it is by going to the dentist I'm afraid, it'd be pure guesswork for anyone on here to tell you.
