Hi all, maybe you could help me figure something out.

For the last few days I've a really bad pain in my mouth, right at the back on the right, almost between my two rows of teeth (not sure if that makes sense), and I can feel something like an open sore...

It doesn't seem to be a tooth problem per se, but I'm also starting to feel strong pressure in my teeth.

So, anyone reckon whether I should seek the help of a Doctor or a Dentist?

Sounds like impacted Wisdom which sounds the same as what I suffer with. Go to dentist for x-ray to confirm.
