Can gum tone powder actually help with receding gums and bring them back to normal I'm curious how to apply it correctly should it go directly on the gums or the exposed tooth roots Also looking for any natural remedies that might work without needing surgery

Gum tone powder has no proven efficacy;focus on brushing/flossing and consult a periodontist for gum grafts if recession worsens.

Question

I've got this minor swelling in my mouth, and while it's not causing me any pain, it's become quite noticeable. I haven't taken any medicine for it since it's not really bothering me in terms of chewing or giving me a toothache. My mouth doesn't feel dry either, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about this swelling, or is it something that might go away on its own?

Question

I've noticed a thin film of deposit building up near my gums, and my gums seem to be receding a lot compared to before. Even though I brush gently twice a day and use mouthwash, the deposits keep coming back, and now my gums are much lower than they used to be. I first saw this last year, but brushing used to help now it's not enough. I'm really worried I might lose my teeth. Is there anything I can do to stop this without needing surgery or procedures that could make my teeth more sensitive?

Question

My dad is getting a front tooth replacement under a health scheme and the doctors have done multiple root canals during the process. Could there be any long-term side effects from this? He's also noticing a slight shivering in his right thumb could that be related?
