Quite a few options are listed below. You don't have to apply them all - pick those that are best suited for your purposes and are easiest (and least expensive) to implement...
💊 Essential Supplements
🍊 Vitamin C
Teeth are held in the gums by connective tissue, and formation of connective tissue needs vitamin C.
💡 Dosage:
About 4 grams of vitamin C daily is required to prevent receding gums and the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums.
🥤 Sodium Ascorbate Recipe:
Mix 1 tsp ascorbic acid with aluminum-free baking soda in 1 inch of water. Let it fizz, then dilute to 1/2 to 1 cup with water. More effective than regular vitamin C!
⚡ CoQ10
Researchers at Osaka University gave patients 60mg of CoQ10 daily for 8 weeks with remarkable results.
🎯 Therapeutic Dosage:
150mg while showing symptoms, reduce to 50-100mg after healing
📋 Study Results:
9 of 13 patients made dramatic improvements, 4 completely healed in 8 weeks
⚠️ Important:
Take with high-quality fats (flax oil, coconut oil, nuts) for better absorption
