I had something that sounds just like that years before I had cancer and they have a name which I've forgotten but it was related to an abcess developing under one of my teeth that had cracked under the gumline and under the crown on top of it without my knowledge.

Of course I understand why you would worry but I hope this makes you feel a little better.
