You certainly have all the classic symptoms, but only your dentist can tell you for certain if this is the case. Make an appointment today. Be sure to let the receptionist know what is going on so you don't have to wait 6 months to get in! In the mean time, try rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide a couple of times a day. It may help in the healing process, just don't swallow!

You might also have other health problems, such as a vitamin deficiency. Seeing your family doctor might not be a bad idea. But a trip to the dentist right away does seem to be called for.

My bottom teeth are chipped.. from a wrestling fight I had with my brother.. years ago.  I figred I had periodontal disease though thank you.

 

Will my gums grow back if I take care of them now?
