Carrots! You don't need to take pills (of any kind) to have healthy gums. All you need to do is eat crisp, hard foods, like carrots. They massage the gums naturally, and help keep them healthy.
Regular brushing and flossing should be done daily as well.

The only vitamin with a direct effect on gum health is vitamin C. In extreme cases of vit C deficiency bleeding gums occurs, but taking extra vit C for someone on a normal diet does not improve gum health.
The correct (and only) way to prevent gum problems is by using good oral hygiene techniques including brushing, flossing and other techniques for particular circumstances.
If a person has unhealthy gums it is because they do not clean their teeth properly. People don't want to hear this, but it's true. Gum disease is caused by the bacteria that live on the tooth surface - the removal of these bugs protects the gums.
No magic prevention or cure, then. Just common sense.

Most people will get little tangible benefit from vitamin tablets, no matter what they do with them.
If you have a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables you will already have normal vitamin levels. If you take more than this water soluble vitamins are just peed out, though there are some concerns that Vitamin C doses above 500mgs/day may be carcinogenic, and fat soluble vitamins will accumulate, some being toxic like A and D.

Vitamin C
and very small doses of Niacin every hour until you get a slight flush.
do not ever take the entire dose of niacin.
You never know how much is too much and the hot flush last up to an hour.
I take 1/16th of a pill every hour for healthy gums,
and vitiman C!!
it really works.
i listed websites to help you figure out how to take niacin.
im me if you need more

obviously vita min c like evryone else has said but also when i worked as a dental nurse the dentist used to pierce a vitamin e capsule and rub it on the gums and lips of the patient, it will help keep them healthy especially if you are a smoker or if you chew your gums

Scurvy (which can cause unhealthy gum and teeth) is cured by regular consumption of Vitamin C. So i would guess that Vitamin C would have something to do with it ;)

Vitamin C is supposedly good for gums. But you must floss daily to prevent gingivitis and bleeding.

that's undemanding - diet C. both you're taking too a lot or too little of it. lack of, or a toxicity of, diet C may reason your gums to bleed, grow to be pink, or have sores. The cautioned on a daily basis Allowance, or RDA, for male adults is ninety mg/day and seventy 5 for women folk. An 8 oz.. glass of orange juice might want to provide grant one hundred% of your RDA needs. diet C is a water soluble diet, so that is amazingly complicated to achieve your toxicity, on condition that your body throws away the un-mandatory diet C. I guess you've a deficiency. you should nicely acceptable that. For wholesome tooth, i recommend taking 10 mL of fluoride. Your mouthwash must have a line on the cap that tells your 10 mL. that's your top intake fee, and also you would possibly want to not take anymore than that! more advantageous than 10mL/day may reason white spots to ensue called fluoritis. that is going to take some days to nicely acceptable your gums. sturdy success!
