I stumbled upon your website from one of the blogs. I have severe gum recession on my lower jaw due to orthodontic treatment 20 yrs ago and periodontal disease. I am wondering if your products can reverse receeding gums as well? If so, what products do you suggest? ~ Thanks and regards

Thanks for catching our blogs.
If that diagnosis was done using x-rays and measuring gum pockets, it is very subjective, only an opinion. X-rays are quite deceiving when it comes to periodontal condition, and pocket measuring is linear, not biological information. Also, there is usually loss of some bone recession from braces but that is a good trade-off for putting the teeth in the right place.
Yes, the calcium materials reduce recession of the gums. You may need some gentle cleaning, but do not let people dig around the mouth measuring pockets looking for things to do. Using the calcium materials at home before you do anything will help slow down recession and make the cleaning easier for both you and the dental office. Avoid a lot of the things you can get in the drugstore for your mouth, power brushes, rinses, pastes, floss, etc. that only force you into the dental office.
We can send the homecare kit to see what we mean by using something that really works, and I’ll send more info in the next email.
