I have had receding gums for a few years now and I think that I have found the solution. I never had inflammation of the gums, just recession. I have figured out that, for me, eliminating caffeine and alcohol while taking 2400 mcg/day of folic acid and 75 mg of B-12 (3 tablets of 800 mcg of Folic Acid and 25 mg of B-12) is slowly regrowing my gums. From what I understand, caffeine and alcohol reduce the amount of folate in your body which is needed for healthy gums.

I did find a cure for receding gums. I had noticed that my gums were weakening for sime time probably due to my age (near 60). My gums were getting weaker and I got concerned.

Biocell HA (HA + Collagen) on empty stomach which I was using for another problem unexpectedly strengthened them. They don't even bleed like they used to. The key is finding a HA formula that absorbs well. Take the supplement for 2-3 months about 3 capsules per day.

I did go to the dentist where they checked my gums and teeth 5 months ago. They couldn't find any pockets in my gums. My gums have stayed very strong. Receding gums seem to be an old age issue but just in case you're young, I would try a good vitamin C supplement. Receding gums are a serious issue since it can lead to loss of ones healthy teeth. I hope this information can help a widespread problem.

I read that I might get some help with receding gums by taking some vitamin D3 supplements. I started taking 2000 iu of vitamin D3 once per day and within 2 weeks I noticed my gums getting noticeably worse. I stopped taking the vitamin D3 and within another 2 weeks I noticed my gums getting a bit better. I don't know if I was taking too much vitamin D3 or if the particular brand of supplement was bad for me but my gums did not appreciate it. Has anyone else had this reaction?
