It becomes inflamed anywhere from once a day to once a week, otherwise it is just noticeably more fleshy than the rest of my gums. It sits on top of the molars in front of my wisdom teeth (currently growing in) and i just recently noticed a white spot on it. I believe there is also a cavity somewhere in the same area.

I smoke frequently, maybe half of a pack per day, although I tend to inhale on the opposite side of my mouth if that makes a difference.

In addition, my eyes have become very sensitive to touch and sting/water up very easily. Are all of these related? Any advice is greatly appreciated as I can't afford a visit to the dentist or sinus specialist right now.
