There are some natural methods that may help regrow gums if noticed at a very early stage. Providing gums time to heal is very important. This can be done by switching to an electric tooth brush with a soft head. The electric toothbrush provides a more controlled motion for effectively removing plaque, unlike using a manual toothbrush which is very abrasive on the gum line.
