I think I have oral cancer?

Question

Since I got a filling for a side of my upper mouth. This pain will not go away and it has been about 6 months. My gum starts hurting always at this particular spot. Also my gums are inflammed and hurt a bit when i touch them in other spots. I went to the dentist a month ago and just gave me a oral rinse and some pain medicine but still have not gone away. I think it could be periodontitis or oral cancer it has to be more serious because it will not go away. I have been brushing, flossing and using mouthwash twice a day but has not gone away. It is either oral,peridonticts or it could be a side inflammed from the filling and messed with my nerves. Also that gum side is bigger than the other parts of my mouth(upper left) Should I get a intense gum treatment?Thinking about going to a gum specialist.

You need another Dentist and an X-ray of that tooth. It sounds as if you a root infection which is making your gums swell.
You don't have cancer.

I worked for a U.K. dentist and yours sounds negligent.

You don't have cancer
The filling was too deep and wasn't able to solve the problem.
You need a root canal.

It's not cancer. Your dentist is incompetent that's all. See another dentist who will treat you for the gum infection.
