Sorry to hear that nothing has helped. My opinion is you have an infection and no matter what you do to relieve the discomfort, will help. The best thing to do is get an antibiotic going to kill the infection. If you can get Hydrogen Peroxide where you live, get it and wask out the mouth with it. It will help kill bacteria and help on some of the infection, but the best is to get an antibiotic going. Saltwater(warm) is another method you can try to kill the infection, again rince out the mouth with it 3 times a day. Rincing for 1 to 2 minutes each time....time to see the Dentist my friend!

Yea I experienced a slight sensitivity after about my first 2 1/2 weeks in. Brushed 3 times a day, drank litres upon litres of water. After about a week of that they just seemed to heal on their own XD!!!
Now 3 1/2 months later I have the occasional sore inside my upper lip where the skin attached to lip meets the gum o_O
But it only persists for about a day or so, I think its just my body still hetting used to this clean vapor instead of all the toxins. Man I wish your sister would have stuck it out just a little longer

This is going to sound seriously stupid, but...are you biting on the tip in any way?
(I know that sounds idiotic, but I apparently clenched and ground my teeth for years without knowing it. And find myself biting down on things I don't realize. I actually broke my bite guard after less than a year from too much pressure!)

Other than that, it seems like people have had good luck with organic vapors.

And definitely try a sensitivity toothpaste and try to brush at least three times a day! I moved to Sensodyne, which you may not have there, and have noticed a huge difference, even more so when I started brushing more often.

(And my teeth are in horrible shape, too, so I definitely sympathize! I'm so tired of dentist visits. Brush your teeth, kids.)

Sorry to hear about your trouble. My problem is I have jaw pain which feels like from my lower teeth even before vaping. And when I started vaping it got worse. Turns out I'm sucking on the drip tip too hard with vaping. Have to relearn what to do when there's a straw like thing in my mouth and don't suck on it. No I'm not biting the tip, just drawing too hard...

Good luck. I hope organic and/or vg would help your issue.

Take care!
 
I had a similar experience, only mine was worse, I even got a couple abscesses. Do you have any concept how horrible that is? So, I'll start off saying yes, you should go to the dentist. Yeah, I didn't either.

Here's what I did do; be forewarned this is going to take dedication and effort on your part but you'll be happy you did it in the end.

First of all, if you use any kind of teeth whitener, mouthwash or solution, stop immediately. Anything that contains peroxide will eventually make your teeth sensitive. Fortunately the sensitivity will reverse once you stop using it.

Second: Start flossing your teeth when you brush them. Every. Friggin'. Day. Twice even.

The pain in your teeth could be an abscess. If the pain is there when no cold or sweet is touching the teeth, it is not merely sensitivity. Believe it or not the absolute best way to relieve an abscess (short of going to the dentist) is to put a regular good old black tea (think Tetley or Lipton) teabag on it for at least an hour. I'm not sure if it's actually the tea (the tannin maybe?), the teabag itself, or a combination of both, but this will draw out what is causing the pressure on the nerves in your teeth and heal the abscess. You may have to do it more than once, but often once will do it.

Last but not least, gargle with the most effective, and believe it or not cheapest, mouthwash of all... straight vodka (you obviously want to buy a large bottle of cheap vodka for this, not Stoli's or Finlandia). This is pretty much like gargling with Listerine without all the additives, since what makes it work is the alcohol, and it is infinitely more effective.

Stick with this process for as long as it takes, and never stop flossing for the rest of your life. You'll be good to go and at least be able to put off going to the dreaded dentist for this particular problem. My teeth are in great shape now, but it was work to get here!
