TEETH.
Lately i think one of my wisdom teeth is growing in. The gum around it is killing me for about a week and it feels kind o like they'res a rift or the gum is splitting open or something.
idk it just really hurts!

oooooooh I know the feeling, and I hate it. My first suggestion is to go to the dentist. My second suggestion is to buy orajel and apply it to the part of your gum that hurts. It will numb it and you should feel better.
Hope I helped!

You need to book a checkup, and teeth cleaning procedure with your dentist. They'll take X-rays and figure out if you have cavaties or not. Be sure to tell them whether or not this only happens ocassionally or when you eat something hot or cold.
I was at my dentist with the exact same problem today. How ironic, it sounds as though you have something similair to what I have. They told me my gums (which is what you are complaining about) had a build up of plaque and were inflamed.
I'm not trying to scare you as it's nothing major but they did mention your gums can tear and fall a bit and cause pain. It's called recession. Ask the dentist if it's recession with you gums. Bottom line they must be inflamed and you need to see a dentist as brushing your teeth and flossing won't stop it.
It's the same scenario in the event it turns out to be a cavity and a filling you need. You need them to go in and fix it. Once they clean plaque from your gums the area will feel less sore.

Use Orajel on the gums to help with the pain. The gum IS splitting open, it has to in order to allow the tooth to push through. (Thank God we don't remember teething as babies- it is painful.)
It would probably be a good idea to have a dental exam to make sure it has enough room to grow in. A lot of people don't have enough room back there, so they could start forcing against your molars and pushing your teeth forward in order to make room.

It's probably your wisdom teeth. Take medicine [don't take more than recommended even though you're gonna want to in order to make the pain go away faster], and lay down. There's nothing you really can do. A dentist probably won't be able to do much except to prescribe you maybe a medicine or a cream that numbs your teeth & gums so you won't feel it.
