Does Usage Of Nicotine Spray Causes Bleeding Gums?

Thank you. I have had heavily, regulary bleeding gums, for three weeks now. The gums are not red. I have been using a nicotine spray, having stopped smokinng 5 weeks ago. I use a steroid inhaler twice daily also. My diet is normal. Any possible connection between the nicotine spray and the gum bleedin, in your opinion?

Thanks for your query i have gone through your query. I am glad that you have stopped the habit. The bleeding gums could be because of the gum infection, secondary to deposits. Since you are using the steroid spray chances of infection is more. Consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and maintain oral hygiene. You can use mouthwashes also. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
