Healthy gums need more than brushing and flossing—they also depend on good nutrition. Vitamin C helps keep gum tissue strong, and a deficiency may lead to swollen, tender, or bleeding gums.
While low vitamin C can contribute to bleeding gums, it's also a common early sign of gum disease. If your gums bleed regularly, don't ignore it. A dental check-up can help identify the cause.
Eat vitamin C-rich foods like oranges, strawberries, kiwi, bell peppers, and broccoli, maintain good oral hygiene, and keep up with regular dental visits to support a healthy smile.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile! 😁✨
