What started out as gum pain a week ago is now turned into little sore patches around one tooth in particular. The tooth itself doesn't hurt, just the gums. No food is stuck. I've done an antiseptic rinse on some tiny open spots and now there's white jelly-like skin that grew over some spots. Is this normal?
Read your query as you feel sore gum around one tooth this can be due to some reason like inflammation of gingiva due to gingivitis , periodontal problem causing pocket formation causing localized periodontitis or due to formation of gingival or periodonatal abscess . For this I will advise you to consult oral surgeon for examination of gum and investigations iopa xray to rule out the cause . Inmeantime I will suggest to do these remedies like do warm saline rinaes 2 -3 times a day , you can apply gum paint like stolin on inflamed gum , maintain proper oral hygiene , use mouthwash chlorhexidine regularly .
Hope this will help you.
