Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have toothache and spot on gum , painful tooth can be due to Carious due to which there is Periapical abscess or painful tooth can be due to Periodontal abscess , spot on gum can be due to sinus formation
So do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Consult dentist for oral examination ,and treatment,
If required go for Root canal treatment and oral prophylaxis
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health
