I would need to know more about you, but if you haven't been to the dentist in awhile, you could have decay and/or periodontal disease. You need to go to your dentist. Both of these conditions are infections and with any infection, they can make you sick if left untreated. Your dental team (dentist and hygienist) will be able to do a thorough exam and tell you what you need to do to treat your problems. You may need "scaling and root planing," which is a deeper cleaning than a regular dental cleaning. Your hygienist will get you numb and thoroughly clean your teeth and the root surfaces under your gumline. Once your cleaning is completed (which may take more than one appointment depending on the severity) the dentist will be able to treat any decay in your mouth by filling your cavities or, if needed, performing any root canals.
Good luck.

The itchy gum's get me, but.
One day I told my dentist that my teeth hurt and he laughted at me like I was an idiot.
In later years, after much pain, I realized several things.
Fine crack lines in teeth lead right to the gumms and ultimately nerves below the roots of your teeth. The tooth pain, was because of the cracks, which the dentist was too dumb to know.Once i got a cap on the affected teeth, it helped a lot.
Also....sinus allergies very much affect the sensitivity of my teeth. Sinus medicine helps.

GENGEVITIS!!! i love saying that word.. but seriousyl if your gums are red then that could be it... but seriously you shuld get it check out because my brother had the same problem and he even brushed and flossed everynight! His problem was that he eats a bunch of hard candy like jaw breakers and gob stoppers and he just bites into it and it ended up cracking his teeth from the inside and the itch was because the inside of his gums were infected and his body was healing itself. you can also use that sensitive tooth past that they have to help the pain of the teeth! that works wonders.

I had the same problem when my back tooth got infected. But my neck didn't hurt though. Just everything from my chin up did. Doctor would be the best bet.

it could be that your either not brushing enough or your tooth is decaying. Brush gentle for now and go to the drugstore and find some numbing cream.
