have any of you had any issues with gum/mouth issues?

When i was around 14 i had to have skin grafted into my lower lip from my .......
i was wondering how common this was.

also, side note...lately when i put dip in my usual spot (straight down from my right eye) after about 15 minutes i feel an extremely deep pain in my jaw bone and my jaw feels very fragile? any ideas/explanations?

Are you using American dip/chew? That is harder on your mouth from what I understand. Most people here use Swedish snus. I've been using it for about two and a half years and have had no problems. I had braces as an adult and used snus and ecigs while having them. I was going back and forth between the orthodontist and my dentist for cleanings every three months and my dentist and hygienist both said that my teeth and gums look a lot better since not smoking cigarettes. The problems that I had were from years of smoking and not keeping my teeth as clean as I should have. I'm in pretty good shape now. As far as the pain you are getting in your jaw bone, I'm not sure. I used to get a little tingle in my cheek if I used a really strong snus but haven't had that in a long time.

Only a few. Main one is since i switched i have a perpetual canker sore inside my lip on the left side. I guess because i inhale slower and different i must have a sharp tooth that i dont notice that rubs on it? Also my gums bleed more. I hear its because theyre healthier. I switched in april.

Plus one to what Hitt said. If I was getting that kind of discomfort, I would see a doctor. I used to chew American dip in my teens, and my gums are in pretty rough shape where I would place that. Snus has given me no issues so far after about two and a half years.
