Healing crisis unbearable! Please help!

Hi,

after researching OP I decided to give it a try 10 days ago. It all went great after a few first days. I did an OP the first thing every morning using sesame oil.

However after about 5 days of OPing, last saturday I had a trouble sleeping because of a strong gums/teeth pain over the right side of my mouth. Sunday night was ok as I only has slight pain. Than on Monday I had a strong gum/teeth pain again, it was the right side only again and let me remind you it hurt only during the nights.

On tuesday I decided to skip OP for a day and went to a dentist who said my teeth and gums seemed perfectly fine.

Tuesday night was a horror again. I woke up a dozen of time as the pain was unbearable. No pain during the day whatsoever.

Today I OPed in the afternoon and didn't feel any pain as I never do during the day.But the minute I laid down and turned the lights off my gums/pain started to hurt. Only the right side. It is 2:48 AM right now, I have to go to work tomorrow but I can not fall asleep as the pain is so strong. I literally have tears coming out my eyes because of the pain.

When I get up it becomes slightly better, bet getting into bed is not possible.

Why is this pain so persistent?
Is it a detox reaction?
Why only one side of the mouth?
Should I discontinue the OPing?

I also had some skin rash coming out on my neck and shoulder so I feel I am detoxing which is a sign of getting better and makes me happy.

But on the other hand, this gum/teeth pain is not going away and I starting to doubt it will. It has been 5 days since it has started and frankly, right this second I regret ever starting oil pulling.
