i did experience some pain in my gums/jaw when i first started, it was like a heavy tired feeling dull ache. i dont know if its the same thing as what you're experiencing. i just kept pulling because i had a sense that it was old toxins getting stirred up and bad circulation getting better. i dont know if that was the case or not so im afraid im not much help! i thought it might also be to do with some cavities i had, but again i dont know...can you describe the pain? do you have any signs of infection (redness, swelling etc?)
