It sounds like you have a fistula.The fistula is the result of an abscessed tooth .The abscess is an infection that first forms around the apex or tip of the root. If left untreated the infection will begin to erode the bone around the tooth. You are going to need root canal in order to save the tooth.

definitly an absess. You should try to get in to have it addressed before it gets really sore. When you have an absess that has alot of soreness and a lot of swelling it becomes almost impossible for your dentist to numb it because of the puss. and can be more painful. Good luck!

It could be but it also could be a cavity, I have had those before and they aren't fun. I would go to your dentist for a check up as soon as possible! If it is not a cavity or absess tooth, it could be gum disease. Check with your dentist at least by the end of the week.

When I was younger I got bumps on my gums I found out it was a blister. They just made me pop it. But uh I'd get it checked out if i were you.

Sounds like it. You need to go see a dentist. It can get a lot worse if left alone, so go and get it taken care of.

could be a number of things. All equally hard to diagnose over the internet; so you should not attempt to do so. See your doctor.

they sound like canker sores. The best remedy is to use salt water and swish it around your mouth. Dont swallow it though.
