Natural cures for Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the medical term given to inflammation and bleeding of gums. To treat this condition, you can try the following home remedies:
- Mix a pinch of salt in lukewarm water and then use this solution for gargling. Repeat this gargling at least twice a day.
- Take some clove oil on the tip of your forefinger and gently rub it on your gums. You can do this at least twice in a day.
- Take a piece of clove and place it in your mouth for some time.
- Take one teaspoon of Indian gooseberry (indian gooseberry) powder and add it to one teaspoon of honey. Add this mixture to about half a cup of water and drink it every morning on an empty stomach at least for five months.
- Make a paste of dried ginger and a small amount of salt and apply it on your gums.
- Include a lot of fruits and fresh vegetables in your diet. Ensure that you have some form of Vitamin C and calcium in your diet.
- You can wet a ball of cotton wool with a couple of drops of tea tree oil and then dab the damp cotton wool on your gums.
- Drink some green tea.
- Avoid smoking and avoid taking carbonated drinks.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day regularly. Use anti-bacterial mouthwash to floss after every meal.
These treatments should provide adequate relief, but it is important to visit your dentist once every three months.
