I'd recommend never using a hard toothbrush for anything except cleaning lime off of shower fixtures, Mr. Apache.
And I"ll admit to using a toothpick around the gingival margin, but I don't know if I recommend it!
Couple possibilities:
1 - you could have a "high" filling - if you hit too hard on that tooth, it could cause like a bruise on the ligament under the tooth.
2 - Loose filling or filling with open margin.
3 - Deep decay that is causing nerve damage or even an abcess.
Solutions: #1, just adjust the bite ; very easy
#2, replace filling (small expense) or might need a crown (larger expense and #3 - root canal (then maybe crown) (very exp) ORRR extract the tooth (small expense.)
Obviously go see a dentist to figure it out - the longer you wait the worse it will get. (man, i shoudl have that printed on a bumper sticker i say it so much.)
good luck!!

A gum infection is very painful. Some times it feels just like a tooth ache. This may sound gross, but take a tooth pick and pick at your gums around the tooth that hurts, or if you have a hard toothbrush, massage the gum.

Have you seen a dentist? It could be nerve problem that will need the skill of an endodontist to do a root canal.

AS DR. SWANSON SUGGESTS GO VISIT A DENTIST AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE. KEEP A LOG OF EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE DOING THAT CAUSED THE PAIN. BRING THIS TO THE DENTIST SO HE/SHE MAT FIND OUT WHY THIS PAIN OCCURS.

you could either have a cavity or perhaps oversensitive gums. you need to see a dentist to verify the pain.

DO YOU HAVE A FILLING IN THAT TOOTH? IF SO THE FILLING MAY HAVE COME LOSE.
