painful sore on upper gum of front tooth

painful sore on upper gum of front tooth

there seems to be a 'spot' on the top of the gum of my front left tooth that only appeared yesterday. it's only painful when i touch it, and today i brushed my teeth and i must have poped it because after brushing i checked on it and it had puss coming out. previous to this i had a tooth ache (due to bruxism) that lasted about 5 days. if this is an infection, can it be treated with antibiotics such as Amoxil 500 or do i need to consult with a doctor first?
