Pain and black in colour.
I feel pain and the colour of gum is dark. This happens at the end of my right lower jaw from 2 days.
On the left side of my mouth at the end of my left side lower jaw there is a small white patch at the corner of my molar teeth but no pain yet. What it could be should I go for a check up?
Please provide me suggestions. I have also attached the pictures of both problems.
Check the pictures by zooming it.

Hello. There is an erupting 3rd molar which is causing this pain. This condition is called pericoronitis. Pericoronitis is a painful condition characterized by severe pain inflammation and swelling in the gums in the 3rd molar region. It is best advised to get the wisdom tooth extracted. The erupting/impacted 3rd molar also causes caries to the adjacent tooth (due to improper oral hygiene and inadequate brushing), radiating pain to the ear, cheeks, neck, throat and headache. Hence it is best advised to get it extracted/removed once diagnosed.

Due to erupting wisdom tooth you are facing all these issues. OPG will help in proper diagnosis.
Consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, use mouthwash and if you see swelling over face apply ice pack outside mouth over effected area.
