I had the same thing as the poster. Unbearable pain in lower right tooth area. I went to the dentist who said the tooth was fine. I had painkillers and stopped the pulling for a week. Then i started back slow. Now it hurts so bad with hot foods. I am not sure how good my dentist is. I found i just need 1/4 of my pain killer to feel ok.
I also used to feel it in that same spot when i did saunas for MCS. I am back to oil pulling and hope it works. I sometimes swish a bit with raw Sea Salt , natural baking soda,iodine, floss with clove oil or oregano oil.. Those all help now that i am past the excruciating pain stage. Clove oil and oregano are numbing. u can get clove oil at the pharmacy. i never used the chemical rinse he gave me.
Its pretty awful.
i read to use pepermint oil and brush before and after oil pulling. we may have more bad stuff than other people...
