None!: The best thing to keep your gums healthy is good oral home care and seeing your dentist regularly for a regular exams and periodontal maintenance therapy.

Except for water anything in your mouth can be used by dental plaque to thrive.

Gingivitis: There is no "quick fix" to "healing" your gums.  The first thing that you should do is contact a qualified dds for a thorough evaluation to diagnose your problem.

If your problem is more severe, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist. Do it now!

Question 6

i'm wondering how long does it take for your gums to heal?

Accepted Answer

Fast, or slow: The healing depends on what it is healing from. If you already had treatment to address disease (such as gum disease) or condition (such as tooth extraction), gums rapidly start healing. It is often some swelling for a day or two, then takes only a few days to witness signs of wound closure. However, if your body is compromised (poor nutrition, or poor systemic health) healing will be slower.
