Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that pain in gum of lower front tooth can be due to causes like deep infection in gums leading to formation of a gum abscess or a Periodontal abscess..
In case if the tooth has a decay then infection reaching the nerves ofvtye tooth can also cause severe pain..
The exact diagnosis needs a clinical evaluation and an x ray..
Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and x ray will be done..
In case of tooth decay root canal treatment followed by meditation can help..
On case of gum related issues Scaling followed by curettage and antibiotics and painkillers will be advised..
As of now if pain is severe take higher painkillers like TRAMADOL..
Apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine..
Take soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
