    I use a product called Herbal Dentist. Took care of my receding gums! Found it through an ebay search, keyword “herbal dentist.” Try it! It works!

  2. Dental hygeine ( …
    Dental hygeine (brushing and flossing) is only half the battle. If you have gum disease, you need to supplement your diet with additional vitamin C, vitamin A (or beta-carotene), coenzyme Q-10, and as much antioxidants as you can. A good dental irrigator will work wonders also.

    Firstly, she should …
    Firstly, she should have DEFINED gum recession and its causes. It can be down to neglect and just not removing plaque and bacteria when cleaning OR there can be an under lying health problem. But if the root has become visible then generaly only surgery can repair the problem. Treatment will vary depending on severity of the recession and the health of underlying bone and tooth. Sorry, but this girl perfectly demonstrates the old adage “a little knowledge is dangerous.”

    WTF,
    gums are tissue, once receded you cannot magically regenerate the tissue by brushing upwards.

    where did this girl get her info? It sounds like she needs to take her continuing ed. classes. She’s got some old ideas of causes and repair of recession. how funny…you can brush your gums right back to their original attachment level after having the loss of attachment. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN! Try perio sx, it will be a bit more successful!

    What if your gums …
    What if your gums are receeding on the bottom teeth? How would you push “up into the gums” to “push them back up” if its not the gums on the top teeth that you’re worried about?
