Is there a vitiman for the gums?  

Sure!! Vitamin B complex and obviously vitamin C...Use capsules of vitamin B complex and eat limes, lemons, oranges....This are excellent sources of vitC

hey carrol,
u can take "Albothyl concentrate" when u get mouth ulcer. based on my experience, it just needs one or two days.

I don't know about Lysine but do know that vitamin C can damage the gums. Our periodontist told us to be careful and not take too much if we take it at all. I use to take one a day during the winter months but stopped that also. Can you check the internet or the insert that comes with the medicine to see if Lysine would help with gums or maybe be the cause of gum trouble.

I take a multivitamin, once a day particularly in winter as every now and then I would get pain in both my mouth and jaw, it seems to help. In the meantime try to rinse your mouth after every meal with a mouthwash to alleviate pain, change to a soft toothbrush and if you have use a soothing gel on you gums, try and avoid things like apples as they should make the situation worse. If the pain does not go away try your pharmacy and your dentist, as there are various bacteria that attack the mouth and gums sometimes taking ages to heal if not caught in time.

Hope you get better soon.

Yes
Vitamin C is the best thing for your gums.Incude a lot of it ion your diet,May be taken a supplements but the best way is to take it naturally,in the form of fruits and vegetables.
Lack of VitC causes scurvy which is a gum disease where in teh gums become swollen and also bleed.
Tooth loss can also occur

Well, I have to agree with most here about the Vitamin C. Maybe you're not taking a high enough dose of it. Also, make sure you don't have peridontal disease which I'm guessing you've already checked out. Sometimes tarter gets beneath the gum lines and creates havoc too. I think tarter is spelled that way. Anyway, hope it clears up for you with added "C"....Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays!

Hi Caroll, The best vitamin for the gums is vitamin E. They say that if you open the cap and rub the oil directly on the inflamed or sore area that after a couple of weeks you should get relief. However, if your gums hurt, you really should see a Dentist. It could be the start of gingivitis or that other gum disease whos name escapes me right now. If you are seeing blood when you brush your teeth than get to the Dentist pronto. You dont want to fool around because diseased gums will make your teeth fall out, trust me. I have family members who ignored early warnig signs from their gums and today ar wearing dentures. It dosen't hurt to have the dentist take a look..Believe me, you'll regret it if there is something there and you didn't have it checked out..Best of luck and Merry Christmas..J

I don't really think if gums have nutritions for our body. However, gums is bad for our teeth. As i know, when i was a child, in my elementary school year, one of my teacher told me that gums is bad for our brain because the sweeten can make our brain getting slower while thinking. I don't know whether it's true or not, but the fact is we can see if someone love to chewing gums that person must be not a great person. However i myself never like such gums. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
