The thyroxine: Doesn't cause painful gums. If your level is normal, it's not the problem. Check w/your dentist.

Not related: Your painful gums are caused by dental, periodontal disease. See a dentist about this. Meanwhile burush and floss you teeth. Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash like listerine. This can help, but not cure, until you get to a dentist.

Painful gums: Thyroxine or thyroid disease would be less likely to cause painful gums. More information is needed to help.
