Have extremely painful gums getting worse

I am a 63-year-old woman with two partial plates and for the past two weeks, the pain in my gums and tongue has grown steadily more painful. I tried the salt water remedy which decreases the discomfort a bit.  The reason for the upper and lower plaits is due to teeth grinding and having one of my incisor teeth pulled because my dentist thought it might be pressing on a nerve. My father spent $4000 for a permanent replacement tooth and all was well until, three years ago, both front teeth flew out of my mouth when I was eating pizza. I 'm having trouble getting used to the plaits. I'm sorry for this long post, but the more information you have the better.
