What Causes Toothache Between First And Second Upper Molar, Pain In Gum Area When Applying Pressure On It?

Hi. For the past several months, I have a toothache between first and second upper molar. It is only irritated when food is stuck between and this pain can sometimes be felt towards my right ear. Once, I floss, it still hurts until all food is gone. When I apply pressure on a particular gum area between the two teeth, it causes excruciating pain. What is this? Thanks.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

After undergoing the complete history it appears that there is a pocket developed in your arch.It requires a clinical examination.Based upon the extent of damage treatment can be planned.

In my view further delay would slowly aggravate the problem and might damage the adjacent teeth too.Therefore please see your dentist soon in this regard.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
