Sure, generally, bacteria of the mouth are opportunist's!. Meaning, if certain opportunities are present they germinate and become active!. Most oral bacteria are not acidic philes; meaning, they can not live in acidic (sour) habitats!. With that said, Apple Cider Vinegar (organic is best) is very acidic, it will be a great tool to kill said bacteria!. The best way to do this!. Take a tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar and rinse it in your mouth SLOWLY for about 20 seconds and spit or swallow!. Apple cider vinegar is beneficial to the body also!.

Although receding gums are typically a normal part of the aging process, many people may notice them much earlier than usual!. Gums may recede due to genetics but they may also be caused by harsh brushing, or "toothbrush abrasion," as well as periodontal or gum disease!. Sometimes receding gums can be identified at first glance, but they may be detected by feeling the top of the teeth at the gum line!. If the tooth feels notched at the gum line, then the gums are likely receding, thus hastening the decay of healthy teeth!.
Receding gums may also be caused by teeth that are misaligned, or by excessive plaque build-up at the gum line!. Misaligned teeth can be addressed by an orthodontist through the application of braces or other treatments!. Regular cleanings to remove plaque build up as well as treatments for possible periodontal disease should be undertaken where appropriate!.
For those with severely receded gums, a graft from another part of the mouth may be the only option for treatment!. For others with healthy teeth and gums, there are currently two methods for the treatment of receding gums!. In one treatment, the dentist drills holes in the teeth and then fills them with a material that helps keep the gums from receding further!. This is perhaps the most commonly used method by dentists in the United States!.
The second, and newer method for the treatment of receding gums has not yet been approved by the American Dental Association (ADA)!. Instead of drilling holes in the teeth, the smooth surface of the tooth is roughened with a dental drill!. A light coating of adhesive or filling material is then applied to the tooth and allowed to dry slightly!. After this step, the teeth are
