Healthy Gums

[woodelf]

Does anyone know which natural vitamin supplements help to maintain healthy gums? Ta Muchly.

I think it's Vitamin C but haven't checked it

I use a toothpick between my remaining few teeth and a mouthwash. Can't think of any vitamin supplements which would help keep gums healthy.

Yes - vitamin C, but don't expect too much!

[Sqad]

naaah!...if you have healthy gums you do not need extra vitamin C.

If you have bleeding gums AND are Vitamin C deficient then yes, Vit C would be helpful......BUT.........Vitamin C defy as a cause of bleeding gums is well down the list of causes....

Your money........your choice.

If you are deficient in vitamin C you'll have other symptoms as well such as skin flaking (scurvy), so don't waste your money on it.
Instead invest in some interdental brushes, tape floss and an anti-plaque mouthwash and use all of above religiously twice a day, no cheating.
It will definitely make a difference to your gums.
