this is an infected tooth.
there is an infection at the end of the root (reason why its somewhat painfull when you bite down), and the pus is draining through the gum.
You will need a root canal treatment to get ride of this infection.
Sounds like you have an abcess. Your dentist will definiltey be giving you an antibiotic for that.
Probably canker soars. I have had them, and sometimes still do. My wisdom teeth were pushing forward, and causing the canker soars. Also, if you don't brush your teeth good enough and you floss, you can cause an infection. I've done it before, and my gums would swell on a specific side or area. Also if you've ate chips or something that has poked your gums, that could do it too.
