Suggest Treatment For Puss In Gums

Good day! I have a tooth problem. A pus inside a tissue. What should I do? When can you call very severe?
It's painful. It makes the gums red. The pus is not easily extracted. It goes down to my teeth. Would the reddening of the gums be permanent? I don't want to have a permanent red portion on my gums. If it would be permanent, can it be removed or go back to normal? Would that need any dental process? I don't want to have a root extraction since I am still young and it's not nice to look at.. I don't want any tooth that is not real.



Please answer my questions!



Thank you very much for helping me on my problem! :)
