Natural Cures and Prevention for Receding Gums

Take Charge of Your Gum Health: Natural Support for Strong Teeth and Gums
Healthy gums are essential for a beautiful smile and overall well-being. Receding gums can be an early sign of gum disease, but there's good news! By incorporating natural approaches into your routine, you can support healthy gums and prevent further issues.
Prevention is Key:
The best defense against receding gums and gum disease (periodontal disease) is a proactive approach. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and maintaining a balanced diet are crucial for optimal oral health.
Natural Support for Healthy Gums:
While natural remedies shouldn't replace professional dental care, they can be a great addition to your routine. Here are some options to explore:
Oil pulling: This traditional practice involves swishing oil (coconut or sesame are popular choices) to remove plaque and bacteria.
Dietary choices: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, may promote gum health. Green tea, with its anti-inflammatory properties, can also be beneficial.
Gentle rinses: Saltwater rinses can help reduce inflammation, while green tea or sage tea rinses offer additional benefits.
Remember:
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for early detection and treatment of gum disease. By combining a proactive approach with natural support strategies, you can take charge of your gum health and maintain a healthy, confident smile.

Gum recession is a dental issue where the gum tissue around your teeth wears away, exposing the roots. This can cause sensitivity, pain, and even tooth loss. There are several causes, including poor brushing and flossing, gum disease, hormonal changes, aggressive brushing, and tobacco use.
While there's no cure for gum recession, you can take steps to prevent it from worsening and improve your gum health overall. Here are some natural remedies that might be helpful:
Salt solution: Make a rinse by mixing one teaspoon of table salt in warm water. Swish thoroughly for 30 seconds and spit. Repeat two to three times a day. This helps reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
Oil pulling: This Ayurvedic technique involves swishing coconut oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes to remove plaque and bacteria. While research is limited, some studies suggest it may benefit gum health.
Green tea: Packed with antioxidants, green tea can fight inflammation and improve overall gum health. Drinking two to three cups daily may be beneficial.
Important to remember:
These remedies don't replace professional dental care. See a dentist for diagnosis and a treatment plan if you experience gum recession.
These remedies may improve gum health but won't reverse existing recession. In some cases, surgery might be needed to repair damaged gum tissue.

what if it is ascorbic acid- the brand nature made vitamin C

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

you can use it but be aware of too much acidity

[@Your.Soul.Scientist]

@@EvolveDentalHealingdo you have a vitamin C recommendation? I take the chewables but drink water immediately after? I feel my gums have always been strong taking vit c supplements and there was a period I stopped taking them and I wonder if that had something to do with some changes?

Is CBD oil effective in reducing gum inflammation?

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

I don't advocate it as a side effect is dry mouth which will make dental disease worse

Great info, again Rachel. Sauerkraut is also very high in vit c. I’m yet to find a vit c supplement in Straya that is not synthetic (ascorbic acid made from GMO corn), therefore easily absorbed by the body. Also, because vit c is water soluble, the body doesn’t store it so it needs to be taken 3 times a day. Can you please recommend your favourite brand? I’m baffled. Thank you.

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

I use bioceuticals or metagenics
