I've been having problems with gum disease for a couple of years. Back in 2004, my regular dentist told me that I would need $5,000 worth of work done on my mouth to repair the damage (double yikes!)
Last December, my mouth really started to hurt...and that's when I decided to start oil pulling. The pain went away almost immediately and was completely gone by the next day. I've had some aches since I started pulling ,but nowhere as bad as it was last year.
There are stories in this forum of people who had your same issues...and pulling helped out tremendously. The links below pertain to your problem
