I have receding gums above a few of my teeth.
I've seen a dentist about it and he wasn't much help. He bascially told me there was nothing he could do about it, and that if it could worse, he'd have to surgically repair it (apparently by taking some tissue from my cheek and sticking onto the gum, or something like that).
His advice: "don't brush so hard." The time I saw him before that he said I had a buildup of plaque and needed to brush more aggressively
I've done a bit of reading about oil pulling - a technique where you essentially swish a particular oil around in your mouth - as a cure for gum recession. Coconut oil is commonly cited as a good treatment, and I've heard of people having success using apple cider vinegar.
Has anyone had experience with this?
