Natural Health: What can I do about my receding gums?

Plus: natural remedies for car sickness

"Working with a dental hygienist is essential to help treat pre-existing gum issues, prevent further gum recession, and support your efforts to improve your gum integrity."

My gums have started to recede in places. My dentist says it’s because I’ve been brushing my teeth incorrectly. I’ve changed to a soft toothbrush and am careful to use the right brushing technique. I also floss every night. Is there anything else I could do?

Switching to a soft brush and using better brushing and flossing techniques will significantly improve your gum health.
