Yeah... apparently smoking restricts bloodflow to the gums (one of the reasons smokers commonly have tooth problems). When you stop the bloodflow increases quickly, which can cause a few problems with bleeding. It should sort itself out in a few weeks.

Just another thing healing itself!

You're doing really fab to reach 15 days. Keep going, onwards and upwards!

Well done Sian, I had bleeding gums for a while but they are ok now. I got them checked by my dentist and he confirmed there was no gum disease so it is definitely a symptom of stopping smoking :D

Well done

The bleeding gums is a good thing as its a sign of ur gums begging to have blood flow again. As smoking hardens them and stops the blood from flowing in them. My dentist told me this
