4 weeks

I feel so happy to have spent 4 weeks as a non smoker, feels like 3 months and 6 months and even 1 year are distinct possibilities now. Suddenly have really sore gums though, I know others report this and believe it is the gums repairing themselves, but I am scared my teeth will all fall out. Using oraldene. Any other tips?

Congratulations on 4 weeks mrsm! I'm sure the sore gums are just part of the healing, mine were fine until yesterday and then they just started to bleed (after 3 weeks of not smoking). I'm sure it'll pass, I'm making sure I'm using lots of mouthwash!!

Well done

Great work on 4 weeks! I'm about the same time and wanted to say about the gums - owch I had it too! And bleeding. Still a bit of a sore area at the back but in the past 3 days it has started to get better. Keep going! It was so painful I thought I had an abscess beginning but as I said, getting better fast :D

Thank you

Sore mouth isnt great for kissing therapy, but perhaps when the gums heal a bit!

Well done on 4 weeks!

Wow! You're doing so well!

I've got mouth ulcers at the moment, just trying to accept them as a part of the process.

See you in the month 2 room soon.

Big up the mrsm! :)

So pleased for you getting to 4 weeks.

Not sure about the gums thing as I haven't experienced it but maybe a quick trip to the dentist for a check up? Can't hurt can it?

And if they are anything like my dentist they'll put on a marching band for you once you tell them you've quit! :D

Well done you

Take care

Greg
