Several vitamins can help keep your gums healthy. Vitamins A and C help blood flow to your gums and also help fight inflammation, so they are essential to healthy gums. You can find vitamins A and C in many fruits and veggies. Speaking of fruits and veggies, you can also find other essential vitamins- such as B vitamins- in fruits and vegetables. B vitamins help prevent gum irritation, and they help reduce bad breath. If you have gums that are receding or that are diseased, you need to add vitamin D to your diet as well because that vitamin helps your gums to grow. You also need to add vitamin K to your diet if you have bleeding gums, which is one of the early warning signs for gingivitis. Vitamin K helps prevent bleeding gums.

By adding vitamins to your diet and by practicing good dental hygiene practices, you are helping your gums to stay healthy for a lifetime.
