Receding Gums?!


Question:

Receding Gums?

My periods are getting shorter, someone told me that this is because i have lost a lot of weight. They also said that this can affect gums. Why does this happen? And what should I do, is there a vitamin that can help?


Answers:

Calcium supplements are good for maintaining bone mass. My gums are receding a bit, because I'm losing bone mass as I get older (most women do). I take calcium supplements to help with all my bones, but also the bone beneath my gums. The gums need bone to stick to!
