My jaw swollen. Gums hurt? help

My jaw is swollen and when i press on the tooth itself, i barely feel anything, but if i press on my gums it is painful.
The pain was there for a couple of months, but i just disregarded it, but now my jaw is swollen. A couple of months back i did have teeth trauma. But my dentist braced my front four teeth and declared i dont need root canal. This pain started shortly thereafter, but the pain is on the right side of my teeth. Is this serious? Im going to the dentist on monday, Do i need to worry? I am only 16, i do not want to lose a tooth :(
