I've managed to be smoke free for 6wks but my gums have been bleeding when I brush my teeth & are sensitive. Any suggestions to help! I do occasionally use vype epen but I've used 1.5 caps only in that time. I thought that was good but not sure. I've never given up before.

Hiya candi and a big warm welcome to quit support😀
Congratulations on 6 weeks quit, great achievement so well done👍
Bleeding gums are a very common side effect of quiting so don't worry as it will pass. Use a little soft baby brush and this will help. I suffered with sore gums at the start and used warm salt water rinses. Keep up the good work😊x
Hi an well done, I also had bleeding gums, dentist says is normal when quitting Mr nic, advice was clean lightly after every meal, an rinse mouth with cordysol mouth wash morn an night, mine stopped after a couple of days, hope it works for you,

Last cigarette smoked on 14/7/15 😃 so official stop date 15/7/15 😃 so 6wk Mark is in a couple of days x
Congratulations! Keep up the good work -- one day at a time!
Hydrogen paroxide worked for me my dentist wrote me a script for it.. For me it was god send!!!
P's invest in an electric toothbrush with a gum setting. If I don't use that it looks like I brushed my gums with a razor blade xxx
