Hello, I perfectly understand how unsettling gum recession might be particularly when a dentist talks about the side effects in the long run. But gum recession is not a cause for concern as it can definitely be slowed down, kept stable, and partially reversed through proper Ayurvedic care and a suitable oral routine 😊
YOUR CONCERN & PROBABLE CAUSES
-Gum recession for more than six months; -Brushing twice a day; -No pain, but the loss of gum tissue is clearly visible.
Likely reasons: -Excessive or very harsh brushing of teeth; -Using a toothbrush with hard bristles; -Slight gingival inflammation; -Deficiency of dietary nutrients; -Inappropriate brushing technique; -Decreased saliva production/mouth dryness.
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
1. Gandusha + Kavala (Oil Pulling) – Every Day Warm Sesame Oil – 5–7 minutes of holding in the mouth Good effects: -Gums get stronger; -Blood circulation improves; -Recession slows down or is stopped completely.
Clove oil – apply lightly on gums at night (2–3 times a week)
2. Herbal Medications
1.Triphala Guggulu – 1-0-1 after food It calms down the inflammatory process and strengthens the gum tissues
2.Khadiradi Vati – 1 tablet to chew slowly, twice daily Antibacterial, supports gum healing
3.Septilin (Himalaya) – 1-0-1 Immune system is getting a boost and oral tissue repair is facilitated
External Ayurvedic Gum Strengthening
Dashansanskar Churna – gently rub on gums for 1 minute before brushing Helps better blood circulation & strengthens gums
Triphala water rinse
Boil ½ tsp Triphala in 1 glass water Cool & use as mouth rinse every day
HOME REMEDIES
- Aloe vera gel – 2–3 minutes of applying on gums -Vitamin C–rich foods (Amla, lemon water, orange, guava) - Green tea – helps to get rid of gum inflammation -Turmeric + salt paste – apply 2–3 times a week -Only soft-bristle toothbrush
DIET TIPS
INCLUDE -Amla, guava, citrus fruits -Sesame seeds & almonds -Ghee in small quantity -Moong dal, cooked vegetables -Warm water
AVOID
-Excess sugar -Cold drinks -Smoking (if you are a smoker) -Foods that are very spicy -Brushing very hard or using a forceful toothpaste
LIFESTYLE TIPS
-Brush gently using a circular motion, not back-and-forth -Do not brush immediately after consuming acidic foods -Keep your body hydrate -If you clench your teeth, stop doing it (can worsen recession)
INVESTIGATIONS (If recession continues)
-Vitamin C levels -Vitamin D & B12 -Dental periodontal evaluation
Once treated with Ayurvedic care, gums may not fully regrow but they can certainly reattach, tighten, become healthier, and stop receding further.
The majority of people experience visible improvement within a period of 4–6 weeks.
