Dentist,  's  Response
Hello!Welcome to HCM.
You seem to be having a poor gingival health.
I do not understand what you mean by 'a tooth root hurts'.If you mean it pains when you bite , then there must be a infection in the tooth also.
I suggest you to see your dentist for a professional scaling session.
Also rule out if any infection in the tooth you mentioned.
Bad oral health is most common cause of gingival infections.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
See your dentist once every 6 months.
Use a floss daily and mouth wash thrice a week.

Regards.
