Hi, the black colour that you are referring to between gums and teeth is most probably calculus or deposit that becomes black if it stays unremoved for a long time. This calculus causes infection in the gums and bone that leads to weakening of the jaw bone which in turn causes the loosening of the teeth. The bone infection leads to pain and swelling and thus your tooth is paining. Please consult a dentist as soon as possible. Thorough prophylaxis, use of antibiotics and periodontal flap surgery may save the tooth. Delay may lead to the tooth falling off. Take care!
