I quit smoking recently and now a large area of my gums are extremely sore and when I brush my teeth its extremely painful. My Luke also quit smoking and he is experiencing the same problems with hurting swollen gums. It is sooo bothersome because I know if I started smoking again it would go away because it has in the past, but I just cant bring my self to start again.  I was wondering, why is this happening? And when can I expect this to stop??
