Is there anything you suggest to help ease this pain? I am also getting a sore throat here and there, but It's mainly my gums (In particular, a sore spot now). In about 2 days It will be a complete month of no smoking for me after smoking 2 packs a day for the past 5 years, 1 pack a day for some years before that. Seems as If my pains are lining up with other ex smokers 
I have tried Orajel, but It did nothing.
-Thanks
Hmmm i don't know the answer but i am sure someone will hun, i am having nose bleeds now and need help with that too lol!
My gums are bleeding but only very slightly, but i have not been quit as long as you, but last time i quit they bled a lot, i used cordasyl i think it was called, tasted like the devils armpits, but helped lol x
My gums bled badly for the first couple of weeks and were agony. Apparently when you smoke your gums create a crust over then to protect yourself. When you quit you lose that protection. And your body puts extra blood there to repair them.
Gargle with warm salted water and it should get better. If it's being relentless, maybe book a visit to the dentist
Thank you for the tip. I quit smoking last week and my gums started hurt 2 days ago. I am so glad I found this site. I will do the warm salt water right now
I am putting a post on which may help you. Monky (pete) found it a while ago.
Now you have quit smoking, you may find that your teeth & gums are sore, or sensitive 
Well I've been hunting around the old blogs and have come up with this, it may just help you a little and ease the pain 
When you smoked, you were literally smoking your gums and throat. Your gums and tissues built up a crust just like if you were smoking a salmon.
When you quit smoking that old, hard crusty tissue will slough off and in its place you will get new, baby tissue, almost like when a baby is teething.
Only about 1 out of 30 people that quit smoking or chewing get sore mouth, gums and tongue, but if you are affected by this symptom your mouth will feel like it is hot and on fire.
Don't suffer with this symptom. It may last as long as 8 weeks.
A student in one of my Nicotine Solutions classes had to have her dentures relined because there was that much of a change in her gums from quitting smoking.
Try Amosan to relieve sore mouth, gums and tongue. Amosan is a soothing mouth-rinse. It comes in a powder and you mix it with water and rinse with it and then spit it out. It is very soothing and you will be glad you didn't suffer with this symptom.
The active ingredient in Amosan is (or rather was) sodium perborate. When mixed with water, sodium perborate yields borate (which does nothing for your mouth) and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.
So, simply mix 2tsp/10ml of common first-aid type hydrogen peroxide (10 volume/3% strength) with 2tsp/10ml of warm water. Then rinse exactly as you did with Amosan. DON'T SWALLOW THE MIXTURE! (Read the warnings on the hydrogen peroxide bottle.) I used this myself last time I had a gum inflammation and it worked perfectly (and at a tiny fraction of the price of Amosan!)
As with Amosan you shouldn't eat or drink for 20-30 minutes after rinsing. And make sure you use a fresh bottle of hydrogen peroxide, not one you've had sitting around the medicine cabinet for a couple of years and have been using to dab bloody cuts and scrapes.
For more convenience (plus a minty taste) Colgate now markets a hydrogen peroxide oral rinse under the name Peroxyl. I haven't tried it but it appears to be widely sold across North America and no doubt other regions, and if it isn't available in your area you can buy it on eBay.
O my gosh thank you I am is pain
