The receding gums condition can be painful and very often results in gaps or pockets between your teeth and gum line.
Furthermore, the pockets open up the door to harmful bacteria.
WebMD says that all of this leads to damage of the supporting tissue and bone structure of your teeth. It’s not strange if people experience tooth loss because of this condition.
As you can see, there is more to this than just brushing your teeth every day.
What causes gums to recede?
There is a study published in the Journal of Periodontology Online that sums up everything you need to know about this.
It basically says that one of the major causes of getting this problem is the way you brush your teeth. It’s in the cleaning routine.
Researching deeper and deeper in this area you will come to the second cause for this. That’s genetics.
You know how older people say that you can’t get away from your genes. They are the reason for everything you need to “have” in your life.

WebMD says that almost 30% of the population has the genes for developing gum disease. If you are among these people you will always be at an increased risk. It’s not important how well or how often you clean your teeth.
If you ask me, I would say that smoking is another factor for receding gums. I know you’ve been waiting for this cause to be mentioned.
Smoking can be put right there between the biggest factors that provoke the development of many gum problems. This includes receding gums, too.
So, what can you do?
A lot.
There are a few natural remedies that will help you fight back the effects of receding gums.
Keep in mind that these remedies are useful if the problem is discovered on time. Don’t expect a miracle if the condition is an advanced stage and requires surgery.
If you notice some of the tissues that are in direct connection with the receding line (like bleeding, swollen gums, pain at the gum line, and bad breath) you can try out these natural remedies and see if they help.
If not, be aware you visit your dentist to determine your condition.
Let’s see what are the remedies that could help you:
Green Tea
A study found that the regular consumption of this tea can be really helpful. It promotes healthy teeth and gums.
The study revealed a decrease in 3 indicators of periodontal disease:
- Periodontal pocket depth
- Attachment loss of gum tissue
- Bleeding
These results were evaluated after the participants consumed green tea for some period of time.

Aloe Vera
The “soothing healer”. This is how one study names this plant. The study shows how 15 subjects were tested and therefore, the study gave results that the Aloe Vera reduces various gum diseases.
If you want to protect your gums, read the labels and search for a toothpaste or mouthwash that has aloe vera as a base ingredient.
Eucalyptus
WholeHealthMD gave us the reason to believe eucalyptus could help you with your receding gums.
Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a great fighter against gum disease. It’s packed with germ-fighting features that make it efficient in killing bacteria in your mouth when the gum recession wants to strike.
Create a mouthwash by mixing:
- 2 teaspoons of eucalyptus oil
- 1 cup of warm water
Vitamin C
This vitamin has been used for many years now. It’s a proven natural remedy for gum swelling, recession and bleeding.
This belief has been approved by a 14-week study provided by the University of California, San Francisco.
The researchers found that the severity of bleeding gums decreased when vitamin C was consumed.
