Hello docs. i was wondering can vitamin b12 deficiendcy cause swollen gums?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Vitamin c deficiency is the cause of gum problems along with improper brushing and not taking care of the gums with periodic cleanings( every 6 months ). B12 is very important vitamin that is involved in many functions as well.
