Brief Answer: probably gingival recession Detailed Answer: Hi; Welcome to HCM; I have gone through your query and understood your problem. i suspect gap between molar and premolar teeth is accumulating the chewed food particles and debris which undergoes bacterial decomposition and forms acid which inflammes the gum tissue leading to pain and bleeding. if not treated ; over a period of time it dissolves the bone(periodontitis) leading to more spacing;loosing of teeth. Pain in your case is due to gingival inflammation and recession.i would suggest you to visit a dentist and get the deep gum cleaning and currettage done which will improve gum health reducing space between the teeth . meantime you can use dental floss to clean the inter dental area preventing it from more inflammation. I hope this satisfies you;if you have further doubts you can write back to me. take care; Dr.farah XXXXXXX
