Hi sickofit,

It sounds like you have developed a deep pocket and bacteria is getting caught in there. Your dentist would be able to diagnose this for you easily by measuring it with as dental probe. An x ray would be warranted to see if there is an infection brewing.

anyone have any idea what could be the problem, the tooth has felt weird for a while but its not bled before and typically its night time and just starting to get some pain.

just to add, i have been rinsing with salt water for months and the gum looks 'normal' nothing looks different.
