I've been expecting this...last time I went to the dentists to have my teeth cleaned the hygenist said that because I smoke that helps stem any bleeding from plaque removal...or something.

Not sure of the technical details but she did seem to reckon tar build-up helps. So don't worry about it, just keep brushing and I'm sure it'll go :)

Bleeding gums is a very commonplace symptom of quitting smoking but it shouldn't last too long
