For the last two days Ive had a pain that I thought was a tooth ache, however its actually on the side of the gum behind the last tooth on the right side where the tongue rubs against that bit of the back of the mouth. Looking at it with a flash light it appears redder than the left side. Is this anything to be concerned about?
