Aside from the normal things your dentist will tell you (flossing, etc.), rinsing or gargling with warm salt water, regularly, is very good for your gums. Wet your toothbrush and then sprinkle it with a layer of salt, then brush your gums, roof of your mouth and tongue, then rinse. Pop some CoEnzyme Q10 supplements in addition to what has been outlined above. It strengthens the gums and the heart.

You can't make your gums 'grow'. I'm assuming that you are experiencing what is commonly called 'receding gums' were the gums are pulling away from the teeth and exposing tooth root surfaces. This can be aesthetically unpleasing and lead to tooth sensitivity.

The best thing you can do is get the opinion of a competent dental health care provider. Your own family dentist can evaluate your situation, and if necessary, refer you to a specialist, presumably a periodontist (gum specialist). Receding gums are frequently associated with a condition called periodontal disease, which happens to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

There are surgical procedures in which tissue from other parts of the mouth are grafted into place to replace missing gum tissue. You need to discuss your particular situation with your dentist to determine whether you are a candidate for surgery.
