I got in the bad habit of not brushing my teeth often starting 10 years ago after I turned 18 and stopped going to do my 6 month checkups because of lack of insurance. I'm paying the consequences now, but trying to get back in the habit of brushing often. The only problem is that when I start brushing a couple times a day after a few days I get really bad headaches, my teeth hurt worse, and there's very sore like pain down my neck and shoulders. This seems to worsen every day where pain relievers dont work. I then stop brushing and the pain goes subsides to a minimal amount within a few days. If I keep brushing and bare through the pain will my gums heal where I'm not experiencing this pain? I use sensodyne so it doesn't hurt when I brush. I still get the headaches and shoulder/neck pain though.
