You need to see your dentist asap, it sounds as though you have pericoronitis (inflammation around the tooth due to infections)!. Depending on what the infection is, they may clean out the area of infection, they may place a medication down into the area and/or they may prescribe antibiotics for you take for a week or so!.
I'm not positive, but it sounds like you are describing an operculum!. A piece of gum tissue that can sit on top of the tooth (usually a molar)!. If that is what it is and you are constantly having problems with it, your dentist can easily remove it!. See the link I posted belowWww@Answer-Health@Com
