I have had receding gums for a few years now and I think that I have found the solution. I never had inflammation of the gums, just recession. I have figured out that, for me, eliminating caffeine and alcohol while taking 2400 mcg/day of folic acid and 75 mg of B-12 (3 tablets of 800 mcg of Folic Acid and 25 mg of B-12) is slowly regrowing my gums. From what I understand, caffeine and alcohol reduce the amount of folate in your body which is needed for healthy gums.
