I have read that your body can heal/regenerate tooth cavities ( if not large ) and bleeding, swollen, reecession of, red gums. Please, tell me of plants that can help fight those problems.

Please for the love of Christ who died on the cross for your sins, seek proper medical or dental attention. The vast, vast, vast amount of alternative medicine is bs. If you want an answer, please seek medical science. Buh-bye.

Tooth cavities can heal if not too large.
A good dentist (there are not too many of them in Australia) will map all the teeth which are going into the first stage of decay to keep an eye on them. Some teeth will overcome the decay and others will worsen. Many dentists go gung-ho at the first sign of decay. It's a matter of economics
Some parents of young children have reported this phenomena of tooth regeneration to me.

Myrrh is traditionally used for gums. I am presently using a clove combination called "thieves" which is helping my situation.

Get a high quality electric toothbrush and use it to do your gums as well as your teeth.

vitamin c with bioflavonoids is good plus a fruit and veg diet.

Remember what dentists know about dental care would fill many large books shelves but what they dont know about dental care would fill the National Library

It depends on what caused the problem. If a poor diet, or a medical condition that places nutritional demands on the body is the problem, then supplements might be able to help. Both dentists and cardiologists are well versed in this area, as are many onocologists. However, usually by the time the problem is bad enough for someone to seek help for it specifically, the problem is too bad to be helped by supplements. Thats an important point to remember.
But no matter what you read - teeth do not regenerate. They are a special form of bone tissue that is done -just plain done- growing by the time your adult teeth come in. So dont believe what you read.
In the meantime, unless told otherwise by a dentist, avoid mouthwash with alcohol - that helped me.

As far as receding gums, avoid using tartar control toothpaste and use a soft bristle brush. Flouride can also help.

(I know those answers don't exactly fit the criteria of what you asked, but they should help with general receding gum issues. For what you describe, I would suggest seeing a dentist and periodontist for guidance as well.)
