Im not sure if its an absess or what. But wen i press on a part of my gum it hurts into my tooth and Vice versa. and i looked at that part of my gum in the mirror and its rlly swolen and when I brushed it it started bleeding. Is this most likely an absess?

it hurts

*shrugs* I wish I could help more, but I have no idea. If it keeps up for the rest of today, it's probably time to go to a dentist.

its been there for awhile. last night i was thinkin it was cancer but I think im just being paranoid lmao.

Go to the dentist, it sounds like an abcess. These things can turn nasty if left untreated.

I left one growing for over a year, and it wasn't until my tooth fell out that I went to the dentist and had it treated. It was spreading across my whole cheek this thing.

ehh doesnt sound very..nice
haha

go to a dentist
get it treated so you wont be annoyed anymore

If you had an abssessed tooth, you'd know bro. Just imagine someone being inside of your tooth, grinding the inside of your tooth with a pin, and trying to escape through your gums. In other words, you'd be in a tremendous amount of pain.

You just have a sore gum. Could be from lack of brushing, or brushing your teeth too hard. Stop poking at it, and take it easy when brushing on that area, or if you haven't been brushing your teeth at all or not good enough, it could be plaque and bacteria building on there.

When you have an abssessed tooth, you'll know it, but if it does get worse, then go see a dentist, but poking and pushing on it will just irritate it more.

If its plaque or rotten food growing in there it could be developing into an abcess, or already such. Sometimes they flame up, other times you don't notice so much. I had one for a year and the pain was not so bad, mainly because my tooth was dead.

If nothing else, for peace of mind get it sorted.

Go to the dentist.

When I had an abscess on my gum I would've explained it more-or-less the way you did, so it sounds like an abscess to me. I can't remember how it cured (I was about 8 at the time), but it annoyed me immensely. Try not to touch it in any way or squeeze your cheeks in. Only makes it worse.

Abscesses are nothing to mess around with! They can "blow up" in an amazingly short time. They can KILL YOU! If the abscess pops into a blood vessel, you can go into septic shock. (A friend's dog died that way.) Granny's not fooling around on this one, kid. Go to a dentist or emergency room as soon as possible! If you're lucky, some antibiotics will be all you need.- Granny

Storm Crow is right. I didn't want to say that and scare ya, but I've heard of it happening. It COULD have happened to me if my tooth hadn't fallen out! If it hits your brain your life is in danger. But don't worry it's rare that happens, just relax and more importantly get your ass down to the dentist.

When i was a child i had an absess - but it was news to me. It didnt hurt at all, i didnt even realise. The first i knew about it was the my dentist said that tooths comming out.

ah thanks guys. It could be that I have been missing that area while brushing, cause I dont brush rough really.. and I brush normal amounts, so its prolly from me missing that area.

Stop it man your giving me hypochondria by proxy!

I'm gonna tell you the same thing my dad always told me (and it always helped!) Gargle with some warm water with salt dissolved in it. Yeah, it tastes like hell, but if you do that a few times a day until you can make it to the dentists office, you'll be fine! So yeah, try it and get back to us, eh?
