Why are my gums receding, and can Ayurveda help reverse receding gums naturally? - #16869

I recently noticed that my gums are pulling away from my teeth, making them look longer than before. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but now I can actually see the gaps between my gums and teeth increasing. My dentist told me that I have receding gums, and if I don’t do something about it, it could lead to sensitivity, infections, and even tooth loss. That really scared me because I don’t want to lose my teeth at a young age. I asked my dentist what causes receding gums, and he said it could be due to brushing too hard, gum disease, or even genetics. But I don’t brush aggressively, and I don’t have any pain or bleeding, so I don’t understand why my gums are receding. Could there be another reason? I also read that stress and poor diet can make receding gums worse. Could my lifestyle be playing a role in this? I started researching natural treatments and found out that Ayurveda has solutions for gum health. I read that oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil can help strengthen gums. Does this actually work for receding gums, or is it just a myth? If so, how often should I do it, and how long does it take to see results? I also came across herbs like neem and triphala that are supposed to be good for oral health. Can they actually help stop or even reverse receding gums? Should I be applying them directly, or taking them internally to fix the root cause? Another thing—my gums feel more sensitive than before, especially when I eat hot or cold foods. Is that a sign that my receding gums are getting worse? If Ayurveda can help, should I be changing my diet? Are there specific foods that strengthen gums and prevent further damage? If anyone here has dealt with receding gums and successfully treated them with Ayurveda, I’d love to know what worked for you. Did you see a difference in your gum health? Were you able to regrow lost gum tissue naturally? Any advice would be really helpful because I want to avoid surgery or expensive dental treatments if possible.
