I would think so sweetheart,but your teeth may have withdrawal symptoms. PS. well done.
Well done! I quit almost 3 years ago and it really is the best thing in terms of improving overall health. Using the mouthwash is certainly a good thing, you could also get a paste specifically for more sensitive teeth too and gentle flossing will help. Your dentist will be able to remove plaque/tartar that will have built up and can also advise on the best type of brush to use to reduce bleeding.
If you have noticed that your gums have reduced then sadly that type of damage is permanent but good mouth hygiene and regular dentist care will certainly help prevent any further damage.
Congrats on quitting though, give yourself a pat on the back!
smoking will reduce arterial size and swollen gums are a sign of disease and por brushing technique. brush from top row then lower teeth, make sure you floss tale approx 10 seconds on each tooth. rinse well with mouthwash. if gums still bleed After 3 weeks see the dentist it may be an underlying infection etc requiring treatment.
Everything will get better.
Take note of the info on your gums as they said if gums still bleeding get checked.
