As I get older I find that my gums are?!
Question: getting softer, I have a good dental care, is there anything else I can do to help, I want to keep my teeth but worry about my gums.

gums are getting softer suggests that ur gums are getting infamed. inflammation has nothing to do with age but a lot to do with oral hygiene. if u think ur hygiene is perfect then may be u have started taking some medicine which is adversely affecting ur gums.
for the swelling warm saline rinses and use of mouthwash like listerine can be used but u will have to see ur dentist for the cleaning of ur teeeth as the plaque is the most common cause for gingivitis
Go to the Dentist and ask, they don't bite you know?
I've noticed that too - and they are receding of course (getting "long in the tooth")
I've started using that Arm & Hammer enamel care tothpaste.. I think its Arm & Hammer anyway.. Good stuff..
Listerine is very good with keeping your gums healthy. They even recommend Listerine if you have a mild case of gingivitis. It does work!
Flossing is good for your teeth and gums.
