Ok I've lost my whole back top molar and can still feel peices of the tooth but that's not the problem I keep getting this bubble on my gum right next to the tooth it hurts pretty bad but I can stick my finger in my mouth and just barley touch it and it pops n I guess pus comes out of it.

Hello!Welcome to HCM.

This infected tooth in pieces as you have, is the real problem.
This is the source of infection and it caused a abscess.You need a clinical and x-ray examination done with your dentist.
You might require to pull the tooth in case it is very bad.Do not postpone the treatment as this infection can spread. Use saline water gargling twice daily.Use a course of metronidazole and amoxicillin.Take a OTC painkiller for temporary relief.
Seeing your dentist and getting the treatment done is mandatory.
