Another tooth pain / mouth sore victim here. I used patches, and my mouth felt like I chewed on razor blades for a few days. Not purty. Drink loads of water to keep your mouth and gums from drying out and clear the impurities out of your system quicker! If all else fails, chocolate ice cream will at least make you forget you had any problem at all ;) x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 380 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,740 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �2,090.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Tubbies, yes the teeth thing does hurt but it does get better. Vitamin C actually helped me with the pain! Smoking is officially one of the worst possible things you can do to your teeth and gums, and unfortunately no one ever tells you that...probably because as smokers we didn't believe it! It will get better! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 317 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,925 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,344.35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 41 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Tubbies, Some good advice from the members! Are you using any quit aids? One of the side effects of gum and lozenges are sore teeth. We suggest going to see your dentist for a good cleaning and some more suggestions. Brenna, Bilingual Health Educator

Tubbies Pen is right about the teeth thing, if you havent you probley should see your dentist for a good cleaning and check up, i worked for a dentist in Las vegas and seemed i was in the chair as much as some of our patients, :( smoking is more than bad for our teeth and gums, keep us posted :) stay quit Tresa [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/8/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1987 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 39,740 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $6,954.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 284 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57

I believe the extra oxygen has something to do with it too... I also suffer from sensitive teeth. I wrote a post about it when I quit last year. You should be able to search "sensitive teeth" or "sore gums" and find others. You also may need to use a flouride rinse. Of course, there is also your dentist, if it does not get better. Good luck, and remember, your mouth is healing itself from years of poisonous chemicals.

Believe it or not, the smoke helps to provide a protective coating around the gums and base of the teeth. When we quit, the gums and teeth become exposed and susceptible to irritants like hot, cold, sweet, etcetera. It will right itself in time but for now, sensodyne toothpaste may be in order.

My teeth were sore the first week. I assumed it was from chewing so much gum but I could be wrong.
