Hello everyone!!!

First time here, but was reading this forum for couple month now, realy helpfull.

Here is my story:

I quit smoking december 2014, then i start feeling iron taste in my mouth, first time it was like"whatever" taste of iron , never mind , maybe some side effect from quitting. Taste everyday getting stronger, and desided to visit dentist in january 2015, she cleaned bottom lower teeth (deep clan with ultrasound) there was so many blood , but it was worth it.

I thought healing process can start now , but No.

Bleeding stop from lower teeth front , but start bleed from others randomly.

I went to dentist again. She told keep brushing, flossing,rinsing. I did it.

Funniest thing it was bleeding and bleeding. Went to gp check my blood ,result was low iron level 9 .

In february / march it was so bad , that o was waking up in the middle of the night because of blood taste in my mouth , and when spitting out it was absolutley dark dark red.

Then i realise that my dentist is Nhs , and my last chance to get private dentist, it will be expensive but maybe they will do something.

Funniest thing about my nhs dentist she sold me tooth whitening kit for £250 , but you have to sort bleeding first, haha

On 01.04 i finally found private dentist who is amazing, he checked my teeth, said that i need to make deep cleaning of all my teeth , and same day hygenist did it.

Next week was cleaning again , was feeling finaly better .

But there is a problem if i want to save my both 7 teeth in upper jaw , i have to remove both upper wisdoms.

I pulled out one , and what do you think, i got dry socked, i feeling so lucky , and now i have to remove second one ,

If someone don't know dry socked is a realy worst pain ever, which you can't ease even with antibiotics.

My worry is , i'm still having bleeding gums, of course bleeding is much much less that it was couple month ago , but still, i'm in panic, all this 6 month only thing i can think of is bleeding. I am sick of it.

Someone got bleeding so long as i have?

And is it realy will ne better someday?

By the way was smoking for 15 years 10-15 per day

Oh yeah check my blood last month, iron level now 21 which is realy nice

Thanks!

I hope so, that this long journey will end finaly.

And i finaly can start live again, with no stress.
