Introduction

This video by holistic dentist Dr. Rachel addresses the issue of receding gums. The video aims to explain the causes of receding gums, provide at-home solutions, and discuss professional dental treatments. Dr. Rachel challenges conventional wisdom regarding brushing techniques and offers a two-step approach to gum regrowth.

Key Takeaways

• Receding gums are caused by: Gum disease (poor hygiene, bacterial buildup), teeth clenching/grinding, improper brushing technique, plaque and tartar buildup, and gum type.
• At-home remedies include: Antibacterials, anti-inflammatories, Vitamin C, zinc, Vitamin D3, collagen supplements, oil pulling, proper brushing and flossing, reduced sugar intake, and xylitol use.
• Dental treatments include: Professional teeth cleaning (deep cleaning), night guards (for clenching/grinding), laser treatment, bone regeneration proteins, gum grafts, and pinhole surgery.
• Gum type matters: Thin gums are more prone to recession than thicker gums. The video suggests that overly gentle brushing can worsen thin gums, advocating for firmer brushing to stimulate gum tissue.
• Two-step approach to gum regrowth: Step one involves using a firmer toothbrush to massage and stimulate gums, increasing blood flow and promoting new blood vessel growth. Step two involves creating the right environment for gum reattachment by rebalancing mouth bacteria and biochemistry, focusing on alkalinity and protective biofilm/pellicle.
