Mouth, Teeth, Gum pain.??

Question

I first got pain on the top right of my mouth, I thought it was a toothache and have had trouble sleeping and eating so I saw the dentist.

I'm 17.

He said he can't see anything specific wrong with my teeth, but he can see a problem with my gums, they bled a lot when he touched them and they are inflamed and swollen.

He gave me some things for my gums, then I woke up a couple of days later (yesterday) and felt a more specific pain on a tooth that already has a filling. Then a couple of hours ago I felt a pain on a tooth the other side of my mouth.

The pain is quite bad, I'm going to go back tomorrow, but I'm worried he still won't be able to sort it out.

My parents think with the pain now being both sides, that it's because my gums are bad making some of my teeth sensitive.

I've been given pain killers but I can't swallow them. Can anyone think what the pain might be and how to ease the pain abit?

Thanks

It could be caused by gingivitis - or maybe there is an abscess under the tooth with the filling - even though it may be just one tooth many teeth can feel sore because of the nerves in your mouth - please let us know what was causing it - get to the dentist
