I am 42 years old and keep good helth aprt for the fact that I smoked and have given up recently. I have no pain or bleeding gums

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to get a checkup done by the Dentist to see what the matks are, as you mentioned you were a smoker, could be due to that, you can take multivitamin suplements and antioxidants, take lukewarm saline nad antsetic mouthwash rinses, maintain a good oral hygiene.


Take care!
