Vitamin C, an Effective Healer Vitamin C has for years been among the top home remedies. It has now been proven that this vitamin can hasten the healing of gum surgery and prevent bleeding gums. Unfortunately since vitamin C is very acidic, the chewable form can cause problems when taken in large doses. It appears possible that erosion of the tooth enamel can result from the increased oral acidity. I would recommend that those who prefer higher doses switch to a non-chewable form. John
