I have mouth pain (specifically gums)?

Alright so, the right side of my mouth has been hurting really bad. The pain has lasted for 2 or 3 days now and tonight I just saw cut under my 1st molar about 1/4 in.

a solution I have seen in many answers is to use a teaspoon of salt in 8 oz. of water and rinse.

how long should I do this for? (the rinsing)
