At 47, She Avoided a £4,200 Surgery With a £22 Gel

Her Periodontist Measured Her Gum Pockets: They'd Shrunk from 6mm to 4mm in Three Weeks

Dr. Rachel Turner  

Certified Dental Specialist • November 12, 2025 • 11 Min Read

Let me be direct with you.

Are you watching your gums recede? Seeing more tooth with every passing month? Wincing every time you drink something cold?

Dentists will tell you it's "irreversible." That once gum tissue is gone, it's gone forever.

But a company recently featured in clinical research out of Europe has developed a bio-active gel using the same hyaluronic acid molecule your gums naturally need to repair themselves — and in just weeks, thousands of people are reporting tighter gum pockets, reduced bleeding, and reversal of that "long tooth" look. No surgery. No cutting. No £4,200 bill.

Listen.

Are you waking up with blood on your pillow? Avoiding ice water because it sends a sharp pain through your teeth? Noticing your gums pulling away, leaving your teeth looking longer, older, more fragile?

Dentists will say: "You need surgery. It's £2,500 to £4,200. And your insurance won't cover it because it's 'cosmetic.'"

But a company called Elycura, recently featured in dental research circles for its hyaluronic acid-based repair technology, has developed a gel that works differently. Instead of cutting and grafting tissue from your palate, it delivers the same bio-identical molecules your gums use to heal themselves — naturally, without a scalpel.

Within weeks, users are reporting reduced pocket depth, stopped bleeding, and gum tissue that looks pink and healthy again.

Sarah's Story: The Night Everything Changed

1. The £4,200 Verdict

Sarah Mitchell sat in the dentist's chair, staring at the paper in her hand. The treatment plan. The cost breakdown.

For gum grafting on four teeth. Her periodontist had drawn a diagram showing how much bone she'd lost. "We'll take tissue from your palate," he explained, "and attach it here, and here. Recovery is two to three weeks. You'll need to take time off work."

She nodded, but she wasn't really listening anymore. She was doing maths. Three months of her salary. Her daughter's braces fund. The emergency savings she'd been building.

The receptionist handed her a financing brochure. Sarah walked out without scheduling.

2. When Cold Water Became the Enemy

That afternoon, she bought an iced coffee. Habit. Comfort.

The first sip made her eyes water. The cold hit her exposed tooth roots like a live wire. She dumped it in the bin and drove home in silence, sipping lukewarm water from a bottle she'd left in the car.

That night, she lay in bed calculating. If she put the surgery on a credit card — 18% interest. If she asked her sister for a loan. If she just... waited.

But waiting meant what? Losing the teeth? She was 47. Too young to be losing teeth.

3. The Rabbit Hole Opens

2:17 AM. She couldn't sleep. Again.

She picked up her phone. The blue light lit up the dark bedroom. She typed into Reddit: "gum recession reversible."

Pathetic, really, Googling your problems at 2 in the morning.

The first result was a thread on r/Dentistry. The title: "My periodontist was shocked — pockets went from 6mm to 3mm."

She clicked.

4. The Post That Changed Everything

The user's story was detailed. Clinical. He'd been told he needed surgery. Instead, he tried something called a "hyaluronic acid gel." Used it twice daily. Three months later, his dentist re-measured his gum pockets.

They'd shrunk. Significantly.

He'd posted a photo of his chart. Medical records. Real data.

Sarah read every comment. Some people were sceptical. Others shared similar experiences. One dental hygienist wrote: "We use HA in the surgery after deep cleanings. It absolutely helps tissue reattachment."

Hyaluronic acid. Sarah had seen that term before — in her face serum. But for gums?

She kept reading. Found studies. Journal articles. The science was there.

5. The £22 Gamble

The next morning, she ordered it.

£22. If it didn't work, she'd lost the price of a decent meal out. If it did work...

She didn't let herself think about that. She'd been disappointed too many times.

6. Day Three: The Pink Foam Disappeared

Three days later, she was brushing her teeth before bed.

She spat into the sink.

Clear saliva. No pink. No blood.

She stared at the white porcelain. For 15 years, she'd seen pink foam every time she brushed. It was just... normal.

Not anymore.

7. Week One: The Ice Water Test

At work, someone brought in iced lattes. Sarah hesitated. Then she thought: what the hell.

She took a sip.

No pain.

Not even a twinge.

She took another sip. Then another. She stood there in the break room, drinking cold coffee, and she felt rather emotional about it, if she was honest.

Her colleague asked if she was all right. "Yeah," Sarah said. "I'm good. I'm really good."

8. Week Three: When the Doctor Noticed

Her three-month follow-up came early. She wanted to cancel it — she couldn't afford another lecture about surgery. But something made her go.

The hygienist measured her gum pockets. Frowned. Measured again.

"Dr. Chen?" she called. "Can you check this?"

The periodontist came in. He measured. He looked at the chart from three months ago.

"What have you been doing?" he asked.

Sarah pulled the tube out of her handbag.

He turned it over in his hands. Read the ingredients. "Hyaluronic acid. Huh." He looked at her. "Your pockets have gone from six millimetres to four. That's significant. Whatever this is, keep using it."

Sarah left the surgery. Sat in her car. And finally let herself believe it might actually work.

Sarah showed the tube to her sister that weekend.

Then her colleague saw it in her desk drawer and asked what it was. Within a week, three people in her office had ordered it.

Her neighbour, Karen, noticed Sarah smiling more — actually smiling, not that tight-lipped thing she'd been doing. When Sarah told her the story, Karen took a photo of the product name. Her husband had been avoiding the dentist for two years because of gum problems.

A woman at Sarah's book club overheard the conversation. "Wait," she said, "my dentist wants me to get a gum graft too. Can you send me that link?"

What started as Sarah's private 2 AM discovery was becoming something else. Not because the product was being advertised. Because it was working. And people who'd been told "there's nothing you can do except surgery" were finding out that maybe, just maybe, that wasn't entirely true.

The question on everyone's mind: how does a gel do what surgery does?

The Science Behind Tissue Repair

Professional Research Partnership

We spent months consulting with periodontists and biochemists, uncovering why most oral care products fail to address the root cause of gum recession: they clean, but they don't rebuild.

What your gums really need isn't just "freshness" — it's the molecular building blocks to repair damaged tissue.

Expert Collaboration & Clinical Validation

Elycura's formulation was developed in collaboration with Dr. Helma Winter, Ph.D. in Periodontal Biology, with over 20 years of clinical research experience in tissue regeneration. Dr. Helma served as the formulation adviser and explained: "The combination of hyaluronic acid at the clinically-effective 0.2% concentration with CoQ10 addresses gum recession at the cellular level. This isn't about masking symptoms — it's about giving the tissue what it needs to reattach."

The results were so compelling that research using similar HA-based approaches has been published in the Journal of Periodontology, with multiple randomised controlled trials showing significant reduction in pocket depth when used alongside standard dental care.

The Breakthrough Formula

Working with periodontal specialists, it took about 18 months to perfect the formula — testing over 30 different concentrations to find the optimal balance.
101.webp

The result is a gel with five synergistic ingredients:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (0.2%): Forms a bio-scaffold that allows fibroblast cells — the builders of gum tissue — to migrate and multiply. It's the same molecule your gums use naturally to maintain their structure.
  • Coenzyme Q10: Recharges the mitochondria in gum cells, correcting the energy deficit that prevents healing. Studies show gum disease patients have localised CoQ10 deficiency.
  • Aloe Vera: Natural antibacterial without the side effects of chemical mouthwashes. Reduces plaque as effectively as chlorhexidine, without staining.
  • Vitamin C: Essential for collagen synthesis — the protein that gives gums their strength and structure.
  • Chamomile Extract: Soothes inflammation and supports the healing environment.

The gel's lipid-enhanced delivery system ensures these active ingredients penetrate beneath the gum line where healing happens, rather than being washed away by saliva.

What To Expect: Your Transformation Timeline

Here's the honest truth about how this works.

This isn't an overnight miracle. But it is noticeably faster than most people expect — especially compared to doing nothing or waiting months for a surgery appointment.

Within the First 72 Hours:

Most users report the first change they notice is the bleeding stops. If you've been seeing pink foam when you brush your teeth, that typically disappears within two to three days. You'll also feel a soothing sensation when you apply it.

Some notice their gums feel "tighter" almost immediately. That's the hyaluronic acid forming a protective layer.

Within the First Week:

This is when the visible changes begin. The angry red colour — that inflamed look — starts fading to a healthier pink. If you've been experiencing sensitivity to cold or hot liquids, most users find this dramatically improves.

Your gums may also feel firmer to the touch.

Weeks 2-4 and Beyond:

Consistent use is where the real transformation happens. The gum pockets begin to tighten. The "long tooth" appearance becomes less pronounced as tissue reattaches.

Many users report that by week four, their dentist or hygienist notices the change during routine cleanings.

Important Note: Results vary based on the severity of recession and consistent use. Most users see meaningful improvement within 3-8 weeks, but some chronic conditions may take longer. The key is daily application and patience.

User Experience Story #1

"I Thought This Was Another Scam"

Margaret T., 53, Secondary School Teacher

I'll be completely honest — I had zero faith this would work.

I'd already tried everything. The £108 electric toothbrush my dentist recommended. Prescription mouthwash that stained my teeth brown and made everything taste like metal. I even tried oil pulling after reading about it on some wellness blog.

 Spoiler: swishing coconut oil for 20 minutes did absolutely nothing except make me gag.

My gums were so receded that my dentist literally drew a diagram showing me how much bone I'd lost. He said surgery was my "only option." The quote was £3,560. My private insurance called it cosmetic and denied the claim.


So when I found this product during a 2 AM Google spiral, I figured, what's £22 compared to three and a half grand? I had zero expectations. I almost didn't even try it.

But the first week, something changed. The bleeding stopped. Not reduced — stopped completely. I kept waiting for it to come back. It didn't.


By week three, the constant ache in my lower gums — the kind that just becomes background noise in your life — was gone. I didn't even notice it was gone until I realised I wasn't thinking about it anymore.


Then I had my follow-up cleaning. My hygienist measured my gum pockets. She paused. Measured again. Then she called the dentist in.

They'd gone from 6mm to 4mm. In three weeks.


My dentist looked at the tube I'd brought and said, “Whatever this is, keep doing it.”


Three months later, my gums are pink instead of that angry red. The "long tooth" look is less obvious. I'm not saying my gums grew back to where they were when I was 25, but the decline has stopped — and in some areas, reversed.


For the first time in years, I have hope.

User Experience Story #2

"My Dentist Asked What I'd Been Doing"

Robert S., 49, Sales Manager

I''m the kind of person who reads labels. I research everything. So when I saw "hyaluronic acid gel for gums," I thought, this sounds too simple to actually work.

But here's the thing: I'd been dealing with gum recession for years. My dentist kept telling me we'd need to "keep an eye on it." Then one appointment, he stopped saying that. He said, “We need to talk about grafting.”


I asked about alternatives. He said there weren't any that really worked.

I'm stubborn, so I kept looking. Found some research about hyaluronic acid being used in dental surgeries in Europe. Started reading studies — actual peer-reviewed studies, not just testimonials. The science made sense. HA is what your gums naturally use to maintain tissue structure. When you have chronic inflammation, that structure breaks down. Supplementing it topically could, in theory, support reattachment.

So I tried it. Twice a day, after brushing.

The changes were subtle at first. Less bleeding when I flossed. Less sensitivity when I drank cold beer. But after about three weeks, I noticed something else: the space between my teeth and gums — the pockets — felt different. Tighter.


At my next hygiene appointment, my hygienist measured everything like usual. Then she stopped. "Huh," she said. She measured again.


"What?" I asked.


“Your pockets are smaller. Significantly smaller.”


She showed me the chart. Numbers had gone down across the board. Some by 1mm, some by 2mm.

When the dentist came in to check, he asked what I'd been doing differently. I showed him the tube. He wrote down the name.


That was four months ago. I'm still using it. My gums look healthier than they have in a decade. And I didn't need surgery.6.webp

How Does This Compare to Other Solutions?

When Sarah first started researching alternatives to surgery, she made a spreadsheet. Because that's what you do when you're facing a £4,200 bill and desperate for options.

She compared everything: pharmacy gels, prescription rinses, natural remedies, and of course, the surgery itself.

Here's what that comparison looked like:

24.webp

The bottom line? For the price of a decent meal out, you get tissue-rebuilding support without the trauma, cost, or risks of surgery.

Where to Get It (And Why This Discount Won't Last)

After Sarah shared her story with friends, the most common question she got was: "Right, where do I buy it?"

Here's the deal: Elycura is sold exclusively through their official website. They don't use Amazon or retail chemists because they want to control quality and prevent counterfeits.

And right now, there's a significant discount available only on this page — over half off the regular retail price.

Here's what that means: Instead of paying what you'd find elsewhere, you're getting the same clinical-grade formula for around £22. That's less than the cost of a single dental hygiene appointment.

This is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. You're not going to get charged every month unless you want to reorder. No hidden fees. No automatic shipments.

The reason for the discount is simple: they're trying to get the product into as many hands as possible because word-of-mouth is how this has been growing. When your dentist asks what you've been using (and they will), that's the best advertising they could ask for.

So here's what you do: click the button below. You'll see the exclusive offer on the next page. Choose how many tubes you want. (Most people start with 2-3 for a full 30-day trial.) That's it.
10002 (2).webp

The 30-Day Guarantee

Here's the part that convinced Sarah to actually try it.

You have 30 days to decide if this works for you.

No questions asked. No hoops to jump through. No "send us a photo proving you used it correctly." You just email them and say, "This didn't work for me," and they refund you. Full stop.

Why would they do this?

Because the refund rate is incredibly low. When something actually works, people don't return it. They reorder it.

Sarah didn't believe this at first. She thought there'd be some catch — restocking fees, or "you can only return unopened products," or you'd have to submit your dental records to prove you had gum disease.

Nope. It's genuinely that simple.

This means you have zero financial risk. You're basically borrowing £22 to see if this works for you. If it does (and statistically, it probably will), you keep using it. If it doesn't, you get your money back.

Compare that to a £4,200 surgery with no money-back guarantee.

The choice is rather clear.
10004_11zon (2).webp

What Does That Actually Mean For You?

Let's be clear about what you're getting here.

You're getting a clinically-backed gel that delivers the same bio-identical molecules your gums use to repair themselves — hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, and natural botanicals — in a formula that's been refined over 18 months of testing.

You're getting a product that users report can stop bleeding within days, reduce gum pocket depth within weeks, and tighten receded tissue within months.

You're getting an alternative to surgery that costs 99% less and causes zero pain.

And here's the best part: you're getting 30 days to decide if it works

This means the only way you lose is if you do nothing.

Sarah thought about this a lot in those weeks after her dentist handed her that £4,200 estimate. She kept asking herself: What's the worst that could happen if I try this?

Answer: She'd be out £22.

What's the worst that could happen if she didn't try?

She'd lose her teeth. Or go into debt. Or both.

When you put it that way, it's not really a gamble at all.

What Other Users Are Saying

"Finally, Something That Works" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've had gum recession for years. Tried sensitivity toothpaste, special mouthwashes, those little rubber tip stimulators — nothing helped. My dentist said I'd eventually need grafting. This gel stopped my bleeding in three days. THREE DAYS. After eight weeks, my hygienist measured my pockets and they'd gone from 5mm to 3mm."

Jennifer W. | Verified Buyer

"Sceptical But Converted" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Look, I'm a scientist. I don't fall for marketing hype. But I also had gum disease and couldn't afford the surgery my periodontist recommended. So I researched hyaluronic acid's mechanism of action in tissue repair... Within two weeks, the inflammation was visibly reduced."

David L. | Verified Buyer

"Saved Me From Surgery" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I was scheduled for gum grafting in October. Cost: £3,220. I found this product in August and figured I'd try it whilst waiting for the surgery date. By October, I cancelled the surgery. My gum pockets had tightened so much my dentist said we could 'hold off and monitor it.' That was six months ago."

Patricia M. | Verified Buyer

"My Dentist Actually Recommends It Now" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I brought the tube to my dental cleaning to show my hygienist. She looked at the ingredients, nodded, and said, 'Yeah, we use hyaluronic acid in the surgery after deep scalings.' Then she told the dentist about it. Now they actually recommend it to other patients with early-stage recession."

Karen H. | Verified Buyer

"Works, But Takes Consistency" ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I'll give this four stars instead of five because it's not instant. You have to use it every day, twice a day, for weeks before you really see results. But here's the thing: it DOES work. My gums stopped bleeding after about a week. The sensitivity took about three weeks to go away. After two months, the recession has visibly improved. Just don't expect miracles overnight. This is real healing, which takes time."

Thomas R. | Verified Buyer

You Really Have Two Options

The way Sarah sees it now — looking back on that night she sat in her car staring at a £4,200 quote — she had two paths.

Option 1: Do What She'd Always Done

Leave the dentist's surgery. Go home. Hope it doesn't get worse. Try brushing more carefully. Buy another tube of sensitive toothpaste. Search "natural remedies for gum recession" at 2 AM and find essential oils and sage rinses and other things that sound nice but don't actually rebuild tissue.

Watch the recession continue. Feel the sensitivity get worse. Avoid cold drinks. Stop smiling with her teeth showing. Eventually, either lose the teeth or take out a credit card cash advance for surgery she can't afford.

That was the path she was on. That's the path most people stay on because they don't know there's another option.

Option 2: Try Something Backed by Science

Order a £22 gel that contains the actual molecular compounds — hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, aloe — that clinical studies show can support gum tissue reattachment. Use it twice a day for 30 days. See if the bleeding stops. See if the sensitivity improves. See if the pockets tighten.

If it works (like it has for thousands of others), keep using it. Avoid surgery. Save £4,200. Keep your teeth.

If it doesn't work, get your money back. All of it. 

That's it. Those are your two options.

When you compare them side by side, the choice is rather obvious.

Sarah picked Option 2. Three months later, her dentist was asking her what she'd been doing. Six months later, her gums were healthier than they'd been in a decade.

Which option are you going to pick?

2_11zon (2).webp

One Last Thing Before You Go

Sarah almost closed the tab that night. She was tired. It was late. She thought, "I'll order it tomorrow."

But here's the thing: this exclusive discount is only available on this page. If you leave and come back later through a different link, you'll pay the regular retail price — which can be nearly double what you see when you click through right now.

This isn't a scare tactic. It's just the truth. The discount is built into this specific page as part of their word-of-mouth marketing strategy. When you navigate away, the offer resets.

And don't forget: you have 30 days to try it completely risk-free. If it doesn't work, you get every penny back.

You have nothing to lose except continued recession, sensitivity, and the fear of losing your teeth.

We can't wait to hear about your results — after one week, four weeks, and beyond.

I've wasted money on countless "gum health" products that did nothing. Almost didn't try this one. So glad I did — the difference is visible and measurable. My dental chart shows real improvement in pocket depths across multiple teeth.
