i stopped smoking 4 months ago & have had a small gum bleed when cleaning teeth, this bleeding is now quite heavy & i have developed really bad breath , especially in the morning. i have been using a chlorhexidine mouthwash for 2 weeks now & not much improvement....the breath is awful !!
Bleeding gums usually indicates the start of gingivitis. You should probably get to your dentist for a professional cleaning of your teeth. Smoking makes the gum shrink back and you may now be accumulating plaque around the gumline of your teeth.
This would make the gums irritated and they can easily bleed. It can also attribute to bad breath.
A simple cleaning may be all you need. Please call your dentist.
Hope this helps.
