Is it safe to brush your teeth with Comet Cleanser?
You should NOT brush your teeth with Comet!
Comet should not come anywhere near your mouth or eyes.
The chemicals in the Comet are not meant to be used internally (or externally, for that matter). They are poisonous and possibly fatal, if ingested.
Use toothpaste. If there is none, then dampen your toothbrush with water, and sprinkle a little baking soda onto the bristles. This will NOT harm your body, it will clean and whiten your teeth. It doesn't taste very good, but after you rinse your mouth with water you will enjoy the freshness.

Can gums grow back from gingivitis?
Here are a variety of contributions for WikiAnswers users:
The short answer is, Yes! Gums can and do grow back on their own without your having to do anything special. Because oral hygiene professionals don't talk about this, it's hard to say how common it is.
Now, to give you a response that any dentist would give you; yes. A dentist can refer you to a specialist to get a gingival graft if your gums receded due to aggressive brushing, not from the gum disease. Although there are plenty of options for making up for gum loss. The long name for such a graft is subepithelial connective tissue graft.
Here is a answer from a specialist on the matter.... I have a specialty in Periodontics and can probably answer your question. There are 2 kinds of gum recession. Gum loss due to periodontitis (i.e., bone loss) is called Pathological recession and if that is case,your gums will not grow back. But if you lost gum tissue because of aggressive brushing, which is not accompanied by bone loss, you can get that fixed by a Periodontist. There are several techniques to do this. It is called a gingival graft. The Periodontist will harvest a small piece of tissue from your palate and place it in the areas of gum loss. If you are interested, ask the Periodontist for "Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft" which more aesthetic.
Also to help a small amount of receding gums ask for a scaling/planing, this is the cleaning away for plaque beneath the gum line.
The truth is, there are healthy ways by which you can regrow your gums! The body was made to heal itself and it can do miraculous things, indeed!

Cutting down or quitting sugar helps.
OraMD may help.
Just remember two things... diet is important and don't lose hope! And remember to brush gently on your teeth. If you feel they are not being cleaned good enough, then brush longer.. not harder. Receding gums can be caused by brushing too hard.
White gums indicates an infection. The white cells buildup until the color changes and the gums should also be harder than usual. The swollen tongue would also be a side affect of the infection.
