Does vitamin C protect the gums?

It is true that a vitamin C deficiency may cause the gums to bleed. However, no studies have found that taking vitamin C improves gum health, except in the case of an actual vitamin deficiency.

Remember that it's always good to follow a balanced diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables, and low in refined sugars and foods (sweets, biscuits, cakes, etc.) for good general health.
