What is wrong?

I just noticed that at my very back tooth, the gum or whatever it is is swollen and it hurts. It feels like something is stuck in my mouth and I can't get it out. Does anybody know what this could be? Thank you.

When I said that it felt like something was stuck in there, there is nothing in there, I have already checked. Ithink it is the swelling that is making me feel this way.

I have went and flossed but there is nothing in there.

If you are talking your third molar area, bottom, we might be talking about a flap of tissue or gum over a part of your third molar. It feels or might be swollen because many things get into that flap and can cause infection because bacteria has a way of growing if food stays there without being brushed or when it is undisturbed.

The solution usually is to surgically remove it, a procedure called operculectomy. If you are talking about the gum between teeth, then that is another story. You might want to check with your dentist because it is difficult to gauge what a condition is without looking at it.
