My apologies for not knowing the right terms but the ligaments that keep the gums attached to the teeth and provide a sort of dampner (shock) absorbant...are there ways for them to tighten up to help reduce chances of gum disease such as ostioblast/clast process (bone absorbing and depositing) which would then stimulate the perodontal tissue to grow better?
