1)For getting your teeth cleaned get Oral Prophylaxis (Scaling and Polishing) done by a dentist. It is the most simplest and easy procedure.
2)if pain is intermittent..pulsating ..increases on having sweets or on lying down.. then it indicates infection near to your tooth pulp... you may need RCT
Consult dentist asap.
and if pain is mild.. persistent.. you feels like poking you gums.. then it usually indicates infection in the gums...
Next Steps
Consult your dentist as soon as possible

Hi Sir....
Teeth cleaning (SCALING) is a procedure carried out by dentist around the gumline on front and back of the tooth surface remove the deposits like plaque, calculus,stains etc
Scaling should be recommended once in every 6months to improve the health of your gums
Pain of the tooth can be examined clinically and radiographically XRAY(IOPA)to rule out the cause and treatment should be planned accordingly
If the cavity reaches the nerve layer(pulp layer) then root canal treatment should be done
If not so, then excavate the caries and filling can be done
Next Steps
