Probably have a gum infection. You should floss more often.

I never floss so that's probs it.

> swish mouthwash for an hour

Lmaooooo no
Get dental floss (real floss that comes in a roll, not those little handheld flossers) use it twice daily BEFORE brushing. Massage your gums with it. Then use an electric toothbrush to clean your teeth really well and massage your gumline. Then use a mouthwash that says it prevents plaque/tartar buildup. Swish it around for 30 seconds.

If its your gums that are bothering you its gum disease (gingivitis you can treat, periodontitis you'll need to see a dentist). If its your actual teeth hurting, use a toothpaste and mouthwash geared towards sensitivity

Why not the handle flossers?

Because most people don't use correct flossing technique with the flossers.

If it is your teeth that are bothering you, I suggest a lot of what has already been said with floss and sensitivity toothpaste. The sensitivity to should go down in a few days, and it may be nothing to worry about--you just happened to overload the nerves in your teeth and they need a rest.
