Wow... I just read this and it's a real eye opener. My gums are in some trouble, but occasional bleeding has stopped since I started my quit seriously. Lots to be thankful for. Hang in there stickin.

Bone density loss due to smoking is very real. For me I use to be 6'3" when I was 22 years old. Now I am 5' 11" that seems to be 4 inches lost not with standing natural old age and compression. I had several teeth break off right at gum line what a shock. I have managed with my Docs help to at least check it. I take a lot of calcium and vitamins and the biggest thing is not smoking. Hope your pain eases and use the meds they wont kill yoo.

Hi Stickin, Hope you are feeling better I have been where you are. I am going to wind up losing my four top front teeth do the bone loss (smoking). You will feel better tomorrow I just wish I had stopped sooner. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 157 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,140 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,020.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 22 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

I'm up, on my feet! Hi Stef Your situation sounds better than mine ;). It doesn't hurt and you will be fine. I was in the chair for an hour and a half yesterday, more boring though. Let me know what you find out. ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/22/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 580 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,440 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,190.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 105 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Hi Stickin to it, I just had an appointement with my dentist because i was concern with my gums. She said i had a common problem and it can be solved with surgery. However, she blaimed the problem on the fact that i had braces when i was younger. She did'nt ask me if i smoked and i did'nt tell her i used to smoke. I guess it just gives me another good reason to quit smoking. I'm waiting to se a Periodontist for a consultation. Does the surgery hurt ????? I'm afraid of dentist...just don't like it at all!!! :8o: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 54 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 540 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $216.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46
