It sounds like a tooth infection or abscess. A dental x-ray will let you know for sure. If it is an infection and the tooth is restorable, a dentist may recommend a root canal. If not, they would recommend an extraction.

Go to your dentist and let your teeth be examined or x-ray to see the inner part of your teeth and gums...it can be infection that can lead to extraction
