You will know if your dentist tells you. Teeth have cavities. Gums have abscesses. If your gum is sore, or if it has broken open like a pimple or a boil, then you should see a dentist as soon as possible. Regular check ups, as well as brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, will prevent abscesses.
