https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/27793/role-of-vit-c-in-gingivitis Has anyone come across any literature/cases where adding Vit C to diet of animals with gingivitis/stomatitis complex has made any difference? A colleague suggested it, but I&#39;d never considered it... en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/207157?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Jan 2019 22:40:55 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2a52c59f-1cc5-40ac-8e22-f850c3e5b17eVirginia Campbell<p>I recently saw a JRT for booster that had a scale and polish over 6 months ago. It had CUPS (I think) then- tartar hadn&#39;t been too bad but it had moderately large kissing lesions on the mucosa that was in contact with the upper canines along with a few others, and it was sore.</p> <p>A bit headshy anyway so I was not optimistic about longer term prognosis as the owners can&#39;t brush. It had some tartar buildup again and the mucosa was....perfect. Only change Os had made was adding B vits as per a colleague&#39;s recommendation. I don&#39;t know whether it was B or B/C vits.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/206947?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 Jan 2019 15:09:31 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5158f957-49bf-423d-b56a-306e2f4ce509Rob Davis<p>I am not aware of any research in this area. I&#39;m sure that there will be references with regard to vitamin C usage in human periodontal disease, but obviously our Vitamin C metabolism is rather different to that in cats and dogs. I would be surprised if it would have any significant beneficial effect, but am happy to be corrected if anybody else has any evidence to the contrary.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
