Oil Pulling or other for Bad Meridian Pain? HELP

7-10 years ago I had huge pain in a tooth and down my jaw and the dentist suggested I seek a surgeon to remove the 'dead' tooth. The pain was so bad we made a midnight run for a codeine prescription. Some days later, I had three acupuncture needles, one below the lip and the others in a line down the front of the jaw and the pain INSTANTLY drained away!!!! Out of the blue, the pain came back after my first liver flush, but at a tolerable level. Now the night after the second flush, the pain was dreadful and I was very close to taking painkillers. I just looked up these teeth on the merdian chart and it is saying stomach pylorus/pancreas, T11, T12, L1. It would be one thing to think this is healthy 'retracing' but if this continues with each flush, I'm going to be back on prescription painkillers! has anyone found this much relief with oil pulling or anything else?
The point is that when the pain left so quickly and for so many years, it seemed logical that the problem wasn't actually in the teeth and there isn't anything obvious about the tooth for pulling it out.... Thank you so much. - WSW
