Your tooth sensitivity can be due to overzealous brushing on that side/ cavity/loss of old filling . Visit Ur dentist to get it corrected..N purple colour is the normal colours present in gums due to veins n other structures..But still nothing can be confirmed without actually seeing the condition.
Next Steps
visit the dentist
